The two first moving within the orbit of the Earth, are denominated Inferior Planets, and the last six, moving without that orbit, are denominated Superior Planets. The Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, and the Georgian, are attended by secon dary planets, called Satellites or Moons, which revolve about them as centers, and are regulated in their motions by the same laws which regulate the motions of the nine planets in their orbits round the Sun. The Earth is attended by one Moon, revolving at the distance of miles, Jupiter four, Saturn seven, and the Georgian six. Saturn, also, besides his Moons, is encircled by two concentric rings, at a considerable distance from his body, which like Satellites or Moons revolve round about him in his planes.
