We provide a formal analytic solution of the radiative transfer equation for a gray moving atmosphere in a plane parallel geometry. A formal solution in the diffusion and the free-streaming limit is also provided in the case of a spherically extended atmosphere. The formal solutions are written explicitly for scattering atmospheres in which the density and the velocity fields are given by a power law. A self-consistent temperature profile accurate to O(Beta = v/c) is provided for the case in which the absorption or the scattering are temperature independent. The gray extinction temperature profile is considerably simplified in the case of a scattering atmosphere. Steady state flow and homologous expansion are special cases that are considered in detail.
