Description:
Numerical calculations for the structure of convection cells within a self-gravitating, fluid sphere are used to determine the temperature distribution within the moon. The distribution of surface heat flux is also given. The results are compared with the temperatures deduced from magnetic induction within the moon and with the surface heat flow measurement carried out on Apollo 15.
