Abstract The combination of radiative viscosity and Jeans's "radiative braking" determines the distribution of angular momentum near the outer boundary of stars without magnetic fields. In the case of slow rotation, it is shown that near the surface of a radiative envelope the angular velocity falls off as the five-thirds power of the radius in any given radial direction. This condition must be satisfied even in the presence of meridian circulation and is imposed for a 10 M0 star on a time scale of about 1000 years.
