Abstract
THE slow decrease of the density of hydrogen with increasing height in the solar atmosphere requires a consideration of the force opposing gravity. As is well known, radiation pressure is insufficient for this purpose, at least if the radiation-intensity is not wholly different from the value derived hy extrapolation from the solar spectrum in the visible region.
