Planet :: Planet (n.) A celestial body which revolves about the sun in an orbit of a moderate degree of eccentricity. It is distinguished from a comet by the absence of a coma, and by having a less eccentric orbit. See Solar system..

Hemisection :: Hemisection (n.) A division along the mesial plane; also, one of the parts so divided..

Platen :: Platen (n.) The movable table of a machine tool, as a planer, on which the work is fastened, and presented to the action of the tool; -- also called table..

Jointer :: Jointer (n.) A plane for smoothing the surfaces of pieces which are to be accurately joine.

World :: World (n.) Any planet or heavenly body, especially when considered as inhabited, and as the scene of interests analogous with human interests; as, a plurality of worlds..

Plane :: Plane (a.) To efface or remove.

Moon :: Moon (n.) A secondary planet, or satellite, revolving about any member of the solar system; as, the moons of Jupiter or Saturn..

Facet :: Facet (n.) The narrow plane surface between flutings of a column.

Plane Table :: Plane table () See under Plane, a..

Sloping :: Sloping (a.) Inclining or inclined from the plane of the horizon, or from a horizontal or other right line; oblique; declivous; slanting..

Planetoidal :: Planetoidal (a.) Pertaining to a planetoid.

Sun :: Sun (n.) The luminous orb, the light of which constitutes day, and its absence night; the central body round which the earth and planets revolve, by which they are held in their orbits, and from which they receive light and heat. Its mean distance from the earth is about 92,500,000 miles, and its diameter about 860,000..

Zone :: Zone (n.) The portion of the surface of a sphere included between two parallel planes; the portion of a surface of revolution included between two planes perpendicular to the axis.

Rise :: Rise (n.) Appearance above the horizon; as, the rise of the sun or of a planet..

Optigraph :: Optigraph (a.) A telescope with a diagonal eyepiece, suspended vertically in gimbals by the object end beneath a fixed diagonal plane mirror. It is used for delineating landscapes, by means of a pencil at the eye end which leaves the delineation on paper..

Pinacoid :: Pinacoid (n.) A plane parallel to two of the crystalline axes.

Sag :: Sag (v. i.) To sink, in the middle, by its weight or under applied pressure, below a horizontal line or plane; as, a line or cable supported by its ends sags, though tightly drawn; the floor of a room sags; hence, to lean, give way, or settle from a vertical position; as, a building may sag one way or another; a door sags on its hinges..

Jovicentric :: Jovicentric (a.) Revolving around the planet Jupiter; appearing as viewed from Jupiter.

Anomaly :: Anomaly (n.) The angular distance of a planet from its perihelion, as seen from the sun. This is the true anomaly. The eccentric anomaly is a corresponding angle at the center of the elliptic orbit of the planet. The mean anomaly is what the anomaly would be if the planet's angular motion were uniform..

Cleavage :: Cleavage (n.) Division into laminae, like slate, with the lamination not necessarily parallel to the plane of deposition; -- usually produced by pressure..
