Whether listening or questioning?usually the latter?Luce, a classical scholar at Yale, had a Socratic approach to ideas and issues.

While studying Mercury's surface temperatures, Soter paused to consider the effects of the planet's elliptical orbit, which causes it to speed up as it nears its closest approach (28.7 million miles) to the sun, and to slow down as it moves away to a maximum distance of 43.6 million miles.
