The Corona
The faint outer atmosphere of the sun is called the corona. It is visible during a total solar eclipse as a halo of light around the sun. The corona is much hotter than the surface of the sun and extends millions of kilometers into space.
The corona, which is the outer atmosphere of the sun, is visible as a faint, pearly-white halo around the sun during a solar eclipse. It appears as wispy tendrils and streams of light extending outward from the sun's surface.
During an eclipse, the outer layer of the sun that you can see like a halo, is called the corona.
Energy radiated from the surface of the sun visible during a solar eclipse appears in the form of the corona, which is the outer atmosphere of the sun. This is a faint, glowing halo of plasma that extends millions of kilometers into space and is only visible during a total solar eclipse when the moon blocks the brighter light from the sun's surface.

The light seen around the sun during a total solar eclipse is the sun's outer atmosphere, known as the corona. The corona appears as a shimmering ring of light due to the sun's intense heat and magnetic fields. This phenomenon is only visible during a total solar eclipse when the moon completely covers the sun, revealing the sun's outer atmosphere.
The sun's corona was first observed during a solar eclipse in the 17th century when the moon blocked the bright solar disk, revealing the faint outer atmosphere. This resulted in Spanish astronomer Josep Comas i Solà giving the name "corona" due to its crown-like appearance.

During a penumbral lunar eclipse, only the outer shadow of the Earth (the penumbra) falls on the Moon's surface. This causes a subtle shading or darkening of the Moon rather than a dramatic change in appearance. It is a more subtle and partial eclipse compared to a partial or total lunar eclipse.
During a solar eclipse, scientists can study the Sun's atmosphere, called the corona, which is typically too dim to see against the brightness of the Sun. They can also observe the Sun's outer layers and its magnetic fields more clearly. Additionally, researchers can investigate how the Earth's atmosphere and wildlife respond to changes in light and temperature during an eclipse.
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.
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.
