The layer of the Sun's atmosphere that can normally be seen is the photosphere. This is the visible surface of the Sun that emits light and heat and is responsible for the majority of the sunlight we receive on Earth.
The portion of the sun normally visible from Earth is the photosphere. This is the outermost layer of the sun's atmosphere that emits light and heat, allowing us to see the sun's surface.
From Earth, the Photosphere is the part visible on the Sun, though the Corona is the top layer of the Sun. We cannot see the Corona because the Photosphere is so bright.
The layer of the sun that is only visible in an eclipse is called the corona.
The outermost layer of the sun, corona, is visible during a total solar eclipse.

The temperature of the layer of gas that produces the visible light of the Sun is around 5,500 degrees Celsius (9,932 degrees Fahrenheit). This layer is called the photosphere and is the visible surface of the Sun. It emits light in the visible spectrum that we see.
The layer nearest to the sun's surface is the photosphere. It is visible during a solar eclipse as the sun's visible surface and is where most of the sun's energy is emitted as light and heat.
The photosphere is the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere that emits visible light. It is the region where most of the sun's energy is radiated into space. The photosphere is the part of the Sun that we see as the visible surface.
