Scientific paper
Calculations on the stability of various frosts (against evaporation) for solar system objects in circular and elliptical orbits are made. It is found that the stability of these frosts is dependent on the rate of rotation of the object, the latitude of the area on the object being considered, and the eccentricity of the orbit as well as its mean distance from the sun. These factors greatly influence the amount of solar radiation incident and reradiated from a given area on the object. The likelihood of finding these frosts on the surfaces of objects and the lifetimes of objects composed of these frosts is discussed.
