This paper is concerned the construction of linear-operator equations for transfer of radiation taking place on a spherical shell. A complete set of equations is obtained for inhomogeneous, anisotropically scattering media with internal or external illumination and with an arbitrary reflecting core. In application, linear-operator equations are reduced to a class of familiar functional equations. Our general result provides answers to a set of well-known problems in astrophysics.
