  1   I,  3 |           the heat derived from the sun, the right place for a special
  2   I,  3 |     actually found to melt. Now the sun’s motion alone is sufficient
  3   I,  3 |          near but slow, whereas the sun’s motion combines both conditions
  4   I,  3 |       should be generated where the sun is present is easy to understand
  5   I,  3 |             take fire. Besides, the sun, which most of all the stars
  6   I,  4 |         phenomena is this. When the sun warms the earth the evaporation

  8   I,  5 |            of smoke. But by day the sun obscures them, and, with
  9   I,  6 |           sight is reflected to the sun from the moisture attracted
 10   I,  6 |         slowest to get clear of the sun and has been left behind
 11   I,  6 |             been left behind by the sun to the extent of the whole
 12   I,  6 |         point. It gets clear of the sun both towards the north and
 13   I,  6 |           region is dried up by the sun on its course. When it moves
 14   I,  6 |            it is impossible for the sun to be reflected to our sight,
 15   I,  6 |         from being reflected to the sun.~These views involve impossibilities,
 16   I,  6 |            the neighbourhood of the sun. Moreover the statement
 17   I,  6 |      appears in the north, with the sun at the summer solstice,
 18   I,  6 |             the month Gamelion, the sun being about the winter solstice.
 19   I,  6 |         first day it set before the sun and was then not seen. On
 20   I,  6 |           ever so little behind the sun and immediately setting.
 21   I,  7 |         haloes appear to follow the sun and the moon as they move,
 22   I,  7 |             to form along under the sun’s course, so too the fringe.
 23   I,  7 |          and his school say, to the sun, but to the very star it
 24   I,  7 |            due to the motion of the sun and the stars. For this
 25   I,  8 |       downfall. Others say that the sun used once to move in this
 26   I,  8 |           this kind, because of the sun and its motion.~But it is
 27   I,  8 |            milky way, since not the sun only but all the planets
 28   I,  8 |             For, they say, when the sun passes below the earth some
 29   I,  8 |         light of those on which the sun shines is invisible, being
 30   I,  8 |        being obscured by the of the sun. But the milky way is the
 31   I,  8 |        shaded by the earth from the sun’s rays.~This, too, is obviously
 32   I,  8 |         circle), whereas, since the sun does not remain in the same
 33   I,  8 | Consequently with the change of the sun’s position the milky way
 34   I,  8 |         correct and the size of the sun is greater than that of
 35   I,  8 |            greater than that of the sun (just as the sun is further
 36   I,  8 |             of the sun (just as the sun is further from the earth
 37   I,  8 |             made by the rays of the sun would terminate at no great
 38   I,  8 |         stars. On the contrary, the sun shines on all the stars
 39   I,  8 |      reflection of our sight to the sun, just as they say that the
 40   I,  8 |           way move; and so does the sun, the object to which our
 41   I,  8 |        sight to be reflected to the sun.~These considerations show
 42   I,  8 |          kind of matter follows the sun, and we explain the halo
 43   I,  8 |        because of the motion of the sun and the planets, and for
 44   I,  8 |            fringe appears round the sun or moon: for they dissolve
 45   I,  9 |             the circle in which the sun moves. For the sun as it
 46   I,  9 |        which the sun moves. For the sun as it approaches or recedes,
 47   I,  9 |            made to evaporate by the sun’s rays and the other heat
 48   I,  9 |           follows the course of the sun. For according as the sun
 49   I,  9 |           sun. For according as the sun moves to this side or that,
 50   I,  9 |           partly of water. When the sun is near, the stream of vapour
 51   I,  12|       because the reflection of the sun’s rays from the earth ceases
 52   I,  12|          begin by putting it in the sun. So the inhabitants of Pontus
 53   I,  13|          the water is raised by the sun and descends in rain and
 54   I,  13|             to the lake. Again, the sun shines on its peaks for
 55   I,  14|          diminish on account of the sun and its course. It is owing
 56  II,  1 |    surrounded by moisture. Then the sun began to dry it up, part
 57  II,  1 |            the turnings back of the sun and the moon, while the
 58  II,  1 |        exuded by the earth when the sun heats it, and that this
 59  II,  1 |              They believed that the sun did not pass below the earth,
 60  II,  1 |             this which obscured the sun and caused night.~So much
 61  II,  2 |          view and on ours). Now the sun, moving as it does, sets
 62  II,  2 |  predecessors who supposed that the sun was nourished by moisture
 63  II,  2 |            cannot always supply the sun with nourishment and that
 64  II,  2 |           is raised could reach the sun! or this ascent were really
 65  II,  2 |            supposed the case of the sun to be analogous! Really
 66  II,  2 |          This cannot be true of the sun; for if it were nourished
 67  II,  2 |       obviously not only have a new sun every day, as Heraclitus
 68  II,  2 |          Heraclitus says, but a new sun every moment. Again, when
 69  II,  2 |             moment. Again, when the sun causes the moisture to rise,
 70  II,  2 |          absurd to suppose that the sun feeds on that moisture,
 71  II,  2 |        thinkers should consider the sun only and overlook the question
 72  II,  2 |             earth was warmed by the sun, and so air was generated
 73  II,  2 |          quickly carried off by the sun, while herest remains for
 74  II,  3 |             the water raised by the sun will return at all, or,
 75  II,  3 |         recurrence. If you stop the sun’s course there is no drying
 76  II,  3 |            has been drawn up by the sun, or whether all the flavour
 77  II,  3 |             and was drawn up by the sun and that what was left over
 78  II,  4 |          predominates. Now when the sun in its circular course approaches,
 79  II,  4 |          heat in the earth, and the sun not only draws up the moisture
 80  II,  4 |         necessarily differ; and the sun and the warmth in the earth
 81  II,  4 |            the same relation to the sun, yet on occasion the dry
 82  II,  4 |          the only regions which the sun does not visit: it approaches
 83  II,  4 |           either side, and when the sun approaches it provokes the
 84  II,  4 |           and winter are due to the sun’s motion to and from the
 85  II,  4 |            which and from which the sun turns and these are the
 86  II,  5 |                               5~The sun both checks the formation
 87  II,  5 |             in amount and faint the sun wastes it and dissipates
 88  II,  5 |            smoke. In these ways the sun checks winds and prevents
 89  II,  5 |            not at the time when the sun is closest nor when it is
 90  II,  5 |             reason is that when the sun is near it dries up the
 91  II,  5 |            own heat and that of the sun, smokes and vapours. They
 92  II,  5 |         full of water and snow. The sun thaws them and so the Etesiae
 93  II,  5 |           is developed not when the sun is nearest to the north,
 94  II,  5 |          seventieth day because the sun is distant and therefore
 95  II,  5 |            uninhabitable before the sun is in the zenith or the
 96  II,  5 |          the torrid region. Now the sun is so near to that region
 97  II,  6 |            A be the point where the sun sets at the equinox and
 98  II,  6 |          Let Z be the rising of the sun at the summer solstice and
 99  II,  6 |           being the point where the sun sets at the equinox. Its
100  II,  6 |          from B the point where the sun rises at the equinox. The

104  II,  6 |            from the point where the sun sets at the summer solstice,
105  II,  6 |            the other lies under the sun and its course. When this
106  II,  6 |          exposed to the heat of the sun and the earth it necessarily

110  II,  6 |             of winds moves with the sun.~Contrary winds have either
111  II,  8 |             with moisture. Then the sun and its own fire warm it
112  II,  8 |            of the day. For when the sun exerts its full power (as
113  II,  8 |             day. The absence of the sun makes the evaporation return

115  II,  8 |         earthquakes at sunrise. The sun is necessarily obscured
116  II,  8 |           the light and heat of the sun has not quite vanished from
117  II,  8 |       inside the earth, so that the sun is not equally able to direct
118  II,  8 |         evaporations in the air the sun has more influence so that,
119  II,  9 |             consists of some of the sun’s rays which are intercepted:

122 III,  2 |        circle: it is seen round the sun and the moon and bright
123 III,  2 |             segment largest: as the sun rises higher the circle

125 III,  2 |            the neighbourhood of the sun, either as it is rising
126 III,  2 |     scarcely ever appeared when the sun was on the meridian, though
127 III,  2 |             mock suns rose with the sun and followed it all through
128 III,  2 |         which the reflection to the sun or some other bright object
129 III,  3 |            why it appears round the sun or the moon or one of the
130 III,  3 |           mist that forms round the sun or the moon, and that is
131 III,  3 |            is not seen opposite the sun like the rainbow.~Since
132 III,  3 |            its centre. Now B is the sun, A the eye, and the circumference
133 III,  3 |           sight is reflected to the sun.~The mirrors must be thought
134 III,  3 |              The bright band is the sun, which is seen as a circle,
135 III,  3 |             the greater heat of the sun dissolves the condensations
136 III,  4 |           seem bigger: so, too, the sun and the stars seem bigger
137 III,  4 |          yet actually there, if the sun is opposite, or any other
138 III,  4 |             reflection whenever the sun and the cloud are related
139 III,  4 |          reflection of sight to the sun.~So the rainbow always appears
140 III,  4 |         always appears opposite the sun whereas the halo is round
141 III,  4 |             firelight: so, too, the sun appears red through smoke
142 III,  4 |            the neighbourhood of the sun: it must either turn to
143 III,  4 |      dissolved, but opposite to the sun there is an interval during

148 III,  4 |          reflects most sight to the sun, and the outer band is largest.
149 III,  4 |          and less of it reaches the sun, and so the colours seen
150 III,  4 |         more reflection reaches the sun from the smaller, inner
151 III,  4 |       whatever and cannot reach the sun at all. (See diagram.)~
152 III,  5 |      determines the position of the sun are on the same line. But
153 III,  5 |      determined the position of the sun before. So the segment YX
154 III,  5 |          will be invisible when the sun has risen above the horizon,
155 III,  5 |           will be smallest when the sun is on the meridian; for
156 III,  5 |           for this is that when the sun is north of the equator
157 III,  5 |          arc is small, but when the sun is south of the equator
158 III,  5 |          great, and the farther the sun moves south of the equator
159 III,  5 |       necessarily the case: for the sun is on the meridian before
160 III,  6 |           we have described. A mock sun is caused by the reflection
161 III,  6 |          reflection of sight to the sun. Rods are seen when sight
162 III,  6 |         seen when sight reaches the sun under circumstances like
163 III,  6 |           there are clouds near the sun and sight is reflected from
164 III,  6 |           sight is reflected to the sun: the mirrors are too small
165 III,  6 |          small for the shape of the sun to appear, but, the bright
166 III,  6 |           bright white light of the sun, to which the sight is reflected,
167 III,  6 |          colour, not form. The mock sun, on the contrary, appears
168 III,  6 |           body and is thrown on the sun all together by the mist,
169 III,  6 |             quite water, causes the sun’s true colour to appear
170 III,  6 |           surface of copper. So the sun’s colour being white, the
171 III,  6 |        colour being white, the mock sun is white too. This, too,
172 III,  6 |             the reason why the mock sun is a surer sign of rain
173 III,  6 |            of water. Further a mock sun to the south is a surer
174 III,  6 |          and sunrise, not above the sun nor below it, but beside
175 III,  6 |             found very close to the sun, nor very far from it, for
176 III,  6 |           very far from it, for the sun dissolves the cloud if it
177 III,  6 |         never found opposite to the sun.) If the cloud is above
178 III,  6 |           If the cloud is above the sun and close to it the sun
179 III,  6 |             sun and close to it the sun will dissolve it; if it
180 III,  6 |     dissolve it; if it is above the sun but at a distance the sight
181 III,  6 |            so it will not reach the sun. But at the side of the
182 III,  6 |              But at the side of the sun, it is possible for the
183 III,  6 |           such an interval that the sun does not dissolve the cloud,
184 III,  6 |            cannot subsist below the sun because close to the earth
185 III,  6 |      because close to the earth the sun’s rays would dissolve it,
186 III,  6 |             it were high up and the sun in the middle of the heavens,
187 III,  6 |             even by the side of the sun, it is not found when the
188 III,  6 |            it is not found when the sun is in the middle of the
189  IV,  7 |       neither dries it (neither the sun nor cold dries oil), not
