Analysis of the Nebular Hypothesis. Separation from the nebula
of the rings for the separate planets, etc. 83
Excessive heat attributed to the nebula erroneous
and impossible 84
Centigrade thermometer to be used for temperatures 85
Temperature of the nebula not far from absolute zero 86
Erroneous ideas about glowing gases produced by collisions
of their atoms, or particles of cosmic matter in the
form of vapours 86
Separation of ring for Neptune. It could not have been
thrown off in one mass, but in a sheet of cosmic matter 87
Thickness and dimensions of the ring 88
Uranian ring abandoned, and its dimensions 89
Saturnian ring do. do. 90
Jovian ring do. do. 91
Asteroidal ring do. do. 93
Martian ring do. do. 94
Earth ring do. do. 95
Venus ring do. do. 96
Mercurian ring do. do. 97
Residual mass. Condensation of Solar Nebula to various
diameters, and relative temperatures and densities 98
Unaccountable confusion in the mode of counting absolute
temperature examined and explained. Negative 274 degrees
of heat only equal 2 degrees of absolute temperature 100
The Centigrade thermometric scale no better than any other,
and cannot be made decimal 103

represented by Table III. 104
