The nonlinear equations of heat transfer in the planetary surface layer are solved with consideration of the velocity of convective motions and neglecting density variations in the surface layer. It is found that the thermal state of the surface layer is determined by the fact that heat flux from the core is exceeded by heat flux from incident atmospheric radiation. Heat transfer in the surface layer is governed by the structure of internal convective motions. The development of an asthenospheric (upper-mantle) layer is associated with a significant horizontal inhomogeneity.
