A modified form of Boyle's Law is derived for a spherical mass of gas at Uniform temperature in equilibrium under its own gravitation and an external pressure, and a typical p–V curve is shown. Any such mass of gas is gravitationally unstable if sufficiently compressed. It is shown also that a sufficiently large isothermal gas sphere is unstable, and the condition for this is compared with Jeans' formula for gravitational instability.
