Not with the naked eye, although we have special instruments - the coronagraph - that allow us to see the solar corona at any time. You can only see the solar corona with the naked eye during a total solar eclipse, and the Moon is already too far away to do that at apogee. If the Moon were further away than it is now, you would NEVER see a total solar eclipse.

What effects would a shrunken sun have on a solar eclipse?

A solar eclipse of a Sun that was smaller but a Moon that is the same size and distance as our Moon would mean that eclipses would last longer, you would never get an annular eclipse, a larger area would experience each eclipse.


What part of the sun is visible during a total solar eclipse?

Nothing, hence total solar eclipse.______________________________Actually, the mass of the Sun itself is hidden behind the Moon, but the tenuous and wispy atmosphere of the Sun, called the "corona", extends a few million miles out into space. The corona is fairly dim; compared to the brilliance of the Sun itself, the corona is invisible. But when the Sun is hidden behind the Moon, the corona is still mostly visible.AND if you are in middle school the simple answer would be the corona and the photo


Why is the corona visible during a complete solar eclipse but not during regular daylight?

The corona always emits light, but normally it is hidden by the light of the much brighter photosphere. During a total solar eclipse the moon completely blocks the photosphere, allowing us to see the surrounding corona.


Would a person standing in the Moon's would see a total solar eclipse?

Yes, a person standing on the Moon would see a total solar eclipse if they were positioned in the right spot during a lunar eclipse. From the Moon's perspective, the Earth would pass directly in front of the Sun, creating a total eclipse. However, because the Moon has no atmosphere, the view would be stark and dramatic, with the Earth appearing as a dark disk silhouetted against the bright solar corona. This phenomenon is distinct from how we experience solar eclipses from Earth.


Why isn't the corona visible during partial or annular solar eclipses?

The corona of the Sun isn't very bright; compared to the Sun itself, it is almost black. So when the Sun itself is visible, we cannot see the corona because all we can see is the Sun. It would be like trying to see the flame of a candle right next to a searchlight; all you would see would be the searchlight. We can only see the Sun's corona when the light from the Sun itself is blocked - as in a total solar eclipse. There are also specialized instruments called "coronagraphs" that block out the light from the Sun but allow the coronal light to come in.


The layer of the suns atmosphere that looks like a halo during a eclipse?

The layer of the Sun's atmosphere that looks like a halo during a solar eclipse is the corona. The corona is the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere and is only visible during a total solar eclipse when the Moon blocks out the bright surface of the Sun, allowing the wispy corona to be seen extending around the edges of the eclipsed Sun.


During what eclipse can you see a corona?

When the Sun's disk is covered due to an eclipse, its corona would still be visible. The most striking coronal features during an eclipse are the white streamers from the sun which extends into the interplanetary medium.


What is a very hot gas of the sun only visible during a total eclipse?

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking but the sun is visible everyday! Just look up. During a Total Solar eclipse however the outer atmosphere of the sun known as the corona is visible. This is the only time that it can been seen (with the naked eye) from earth.


What would you see in a solar eclipse if the moon was further away then it is now?

You would see something called an 'annular eclipse' - like the image in the bottom-right of the picture in the related link.


Who would be able to see the solar eclipse?

People who are in the path of the eclipse.


Does solar power work during an eclipse?

It would during a solar eclipse, but probably not during a lunar eclipse.


What is the type of eclipse that totally blacks out the sun from earths view?

This is a solar eclipse, specifically a total eclipse (Total solar eclipse I think is how you would word it).
