Abstract
In attempts to reconstruct the environment of condensation of solar system materials, particularly exemplified by certain meteorite components, the relative temperatures of the gas and the solid are of critical importance. The relationships that determine the heat balance in a circumsolar grain‐gas system are examined. Fundamental considerations show that regardless of opacity or gas density, the gas will always be at a higher temperature than the solid in such regions of the system where condensation is possible. Implications of the characteristic temperature differential between the gas and the condensing solid are discussed.Keywords
