The plane-parallel approximation and the more realistic spherical shell approximation for the radiance reflected from a planetary atmosphere are compared and are applied to the study of a planet the size of the earth with a homogeneous conservative Rayleigh scattering atmosphere extending to a height of 100 km. Inadequacies of the approximations are considered. Radiance versus height distributions for both single and multiple scattering are presented, as are results for the fractional radiance from altitudes in the atmosphere which contribute to the total unidirectional reflected radiance at the top of the atmosphere. The data can be used for remote sensing applications and planetary spectroscopy.
