Compare and contrast the layers sun with of earth?
The earth's geological layers are (from center to outside)the core-which is mostly nickel and iron-, the mantle,-which is melted rock called magma-, and the crust, -which is composed of rocks, soil etc. The earth's atmospheric layers are (from surface out) the Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and Exosphere. The sun's geological layers are (form center to outside) the inner core, the radiative zone, the convection zone, and the photosphere, which is the surface of the sun. The one atmospheric layer is the chromosphere, which contains the corona.
