The distribution of the temperature versus the thickness in the chromosphere-corona transition region of the solar atmosphere on the assumption that the plasma heating by classical heat flux is balanced by the energy loss by radiation. It is shown that the transition region between the corona and chromosphere is a thin layer, to which, however, a simple collision approximation may be applied.
