Plagihedral :: Plagihedral (a.) Having an oblique spiral arrangement of planes, as levogyrate and dextrogyrate crystals..

Apsis :: Apsis (n.) One of the two points of an orbit, as of a planet or satellite, which are at the greatest and least distance from the central body, corresponding to the aphelion and perihelion of a planet, or to the apogee and perigee of the moon. The more distant is called the higher apsis; the other, the lower apsis; and the line joining them, the line of apsides..

Levogyrate :: Levogyrate (a.) Turning or twisting the plane of polarization towards the left, as levulose, levotartaric acid, etc..

Inshave :: Inshave (n.) A plane for shaving or dressing the concave or inside faces of barrel staves.

Falcated :: Falcated (a.) Hooked or bent like a sickle; as, a falcate leaf; a falcate claw; -- said also of the moon, or a planet, when horned or crescent-formed..

Reclination :: Reclination (n.) The angle which the plane of the dial makes with a vertical plane which it intersects in a horizontal line.

Normal :: Normal (a.) A straight line or plane drawn from any point of a curve or surface so as to be perpendicular to the curve or surface at that point.

Sphericity :: Sphericity (n.) The quality or state of being spherial; roundness; as, the sphericity of the planets, or of a drop of water..

Planet-stricken :: Planet-stricken (a.) Alt. of Planet-struc.

Slide :: Slide (n.) An inclined plane on which heavy bodies slide by the force of gravity, esp. one constructed on a mountain side for conveying logs by sliding them down..

Face :: Face (n.) That part of a body, having several sides, which may be seen from one point, or which is presented toward a certain direction; one of the bounding planes of a solid; as, a cube has six faces..

Radius Vector :: Radius vector (n.) An ideal straight line joining the center of an attracting body with that of a body describing an orbit around it, as a line joining the sun and a planet or comet, or a planet and its satellite..

Jupiter :: "Jupiter (n.) One of the planets, being the brightest except Venus, and the largest of them all, its mean diameter being about 85,000 miles. It revolves about the sun in 4,332.6 days, at a mean distance of 5.2028 from the sun, the earth's mean distance being taken as unity..

Pole :: Pole (n.) A point upon the surface of a sphere equally distant from every part of the circumference of a great circle; or the point in which a diameter of the sphere perpendicular to the plane of such circle meets the surface. Such a point is called the pole of that circle; as, the pole of the horizon; the pole of the ecliptic; the pole of a given meridian..

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

Dextrose :: Dextrose (n.) A sirupy, or white crystalline, variety of sugar, C6H12O6 (so called from turning the plane of polarization to the right), occurring in many ripe fruits. Dextrose and levulose are obtained by the inversion of cane sugar or sucrose, and hence called invert sugar. Dextrose is chiefly obtained by the action of heat and acids on starch, and hence called also starch sugar. It is also formed from starchy food by the action of the amylolytic ferments of saliva and pancreatic juice..

Infinity :: Infinity (n.) That part of a line, or of a plane, or of space, which is infinitely distant. In modern geometry, parallel lines or planes are sometimes treated as lines or planes meeting at infinity..

Lateral :: Lateral (a.) Lying at, or extending toward, the side; away from the mesial plane; external; -- opposed to mesial..

Neptune :: Neptune (n.) The remotest known planet of our system, discovered -- as a result of the computations of Leverrier, of Paris -- by Galle, of Berlin, September 23, 1846. Its mean distance from the sun is about 2,775,000,000 miles, and its period of revolution is about 164,78 years..

Shoot :: Shoot (v. i.) To plane straight; to fit by planing.
