The conservation equations of mass, energy and momentum when applied to the problem of convection produced by isothermal compression as well as by thermal expansion, in self-gravitating, homogeneous, non rotating spheres with uniform viscosity and under steady flow conditions, lead to a relationship between two characteristic numbers. In the present paper these characteristic numbers are evaluated, for both rigid and free surfaces, for spherical harmonic disturbances of orders 1→6.
