The Corona.
The bright halo of the sun's atmosphere visible during a full eclipse is known as the solar corona. It consists of plasma released from the sun's outer layer and is only visible during a total solar eclipse when the moon completely blocks the sun's disk, revealing this outer layer. The corona appears as a shimmering halo of white light extending far beyond the sun's visible edge.

The corona is (visually) a fairly bright, hazy "halo" around the sun that can be seen during totality of a solar eclipse. It is always there, but under normal circumstances, the sun is so intensely bright that the much dimmer corona cannot be seen.
The layer of the sun's atmosphere that appears as a halo during a solar eclipse is called the corona. It is the outermost layer of the sun's atmosphere, extending millions of kilometers into space and characterized by its high temperatures and plasma. The corona is visible only during a total solar eclipse when the sun's bright light is obscured by the moon.
Science is gay!
The corona, which is the sun's plasma 'atmosphere'.
During a solar eclipse, the only part of the Sun that can be seen is its outer atmosphere, known as the corona. This is because the Moon blocks out the Sun's bright surface, allowing the fainter corona to be visible.
Visible light from the photosphere (the Sun's surface) normally "swamps" the light from the outer parts. But the Sun's disc is covered during an eclipse, allowing us to see the Sun's "atmosphere".

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.
The bright hazy light around the moon during a total solar eclipse is the sun's corona, which is the outer atmosphere of the sun. This corona is usually hidden from view by the sun's bright light, but during a total eclipse, when the moon completely covers the sun, the corona becomes visible. It appears as a glowing halo, often with a wispy or feathered appearance, and provides a stunning contrast to the darkened sky.
