The moon and stars4 parallels

The sun is the monarch of day , the state of light; the moon of the night , the state of darkness. The rays of the sun falling on the atmosphere , are refracted and diffused over the whole of the hemisphere of the earth immediately under his orb; while those rays of that vast luminary which , because of the earth's smallness in comparison with the sun , are diffused on all sides beyond the earth , falling on the opaque disc of the moon , are reflected back on the lower hemisphere , or the part of the earth opposite the sun. But the reflected light being 50 ,000 times less in intensity than that of the sun , there is a sufficient distinction between day and night , though each is ruled and determined by one of these two great lights
