ABSTRACT:Molecular clouds are the active, star forming component of the interstellar medium. The article reviews the theoretical and empirical basis for using the 2.6 mm CO emission line as a tracer of H2 and summarizes the Galactic distribution and properties of the molecular clouds. All quantitative estimates are reduced to the recent IAU adopted value of R(o) = 8.5 kpc.
