Trace or minor constituents are key to the origin, maintenance, and the eventual fate of atmospheres of solar system objects. In this Introductory Paper, I illustrate this point by discussing certain cross cutting themes, including the chemistry of the formation and stability of a nitrogen atmosphere on Titan and the Earth, the chemical and biochemical origin of methane on the terrestrial plane...

The FN method is used to establish accurate numerical results for the albedo and the exit distribution of radiation relevant to an illuminated semi-infinite half space with an exponentially varying albedo for single scattering.
