We　prove　the　global　existence　of　weak　solutions　to　the　Navier-Stokes　equations　of　compressible　heat-conducting　fluids　in　two　spatial　dimensions　with　initial　data　and　external　forces　which　are　large　and　spherically　symmetric.　The　solutions　will　be　obtained　as　the　limit　of　the　approximate　solutions　in　an　annular　domain.　We　first　derive　a　number　of　regularity　results　on　the　approximate　physical　quantities　in　the　＂fluid　region＂,　as　well　as　the　new　uniform　integrability　of　the　velocity　and　temperature　in　the　entire　space-time　domain　by　exploiting　the　theory　of　the　Orlicz　spaces.　By　virtue　of　these　a　priori　estimates　we　then　argue　in　a　manner　similar　to　that　in　[Arch.　Rational　Mech.　Anal.　173　(2004),　297-343]　to　pass　to　the　limit　and　show　that　the　limiting　functions　are　indeed　a　weak　solution　which　satisfies　the　mass　and　momentum　equations　in　the　entire　space-time　domain　in　the　sense　of　distributions,　and　the　energy　equation　in　any　compact　subset　of　the　＂fluid　region＂.
