In any planetary atmosphere there is an uppermost layer in which the molecular thermal conduction is a significant mechanism of forming the thermal structure of the atmosphere. In this paper, the similarity approach is first used to develop the 1-D general model of aforementioned layer. The main concepts of the model are (i) the radiative equilibrium condition at the lower boundary of the layer and...
