The energy-balance equation for a general solar atmosphere without assuming the plane-parallel approximation is solved analytically. This leads to models for both the transition region and inner corona as well as for the outer corona. The form of the latter is very similar to that of the hydrostatic conduction model of Chapman (1957). However, this paper deals only with the former. Model I is electron-pressure-dependent, but model II depends particularly on the maximum coronal temperature and its corresponding altitude. Both models are compared with recently constructed temperature models of Chiuderi and Riani (1974), McWhirter et al. (1975), and Gabriel (1976). It is concluded that model II reproduces these models within a factor of not more than 2.
