According to the laws of gravitation and of gases, the pressure must there be 10,000 times greater, and the temperature ten times higher, than those in our table. The density of the interior portions would, however, become far too large to admit of the application of the gas laws. I have therefore modified the calculations so as to render them applicable to a celestial body of ten times the radius of the sun or of 1080 times the radius of the earth; the radius would then represent one-twenty-second of the distance from the centre of the sun to the earth’s orbit, and the respective celestial body would have very small dimensions indeed if compared to a nebula.
