The light around the moon is called the corona. It is the outermost portion of the sun's atmosphere. The corona is always present, but except during an eclipse it is hidden by the glare from the rest of the sun.
During the solar eclipse you see the corona and chromosphere of the sun, which are the outermost layers. These layers are very diffuse and their light is normally drowned out by that of the much brighter photosphere. During a total solar eclipse the photosphere is blocked from view, allowing you to see the dimmer layers.
The outermost layer of the sun is the corona. Only visible during eclipses, it is a low density cloud of plasma with higher transparency than the inner layers.

The red ring that is visible around the darkened disk of the Moon during a total solar eclipse is called the solar corona. It is the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere, composed of superheated plasma. The corona is usually invisible due to the overwhelming brightness of the Sun, but during a total solar eclipse, it becomes visible as a beautiful halo of red or white light.
It is called corona. It's the outermost layer of the sun

Science is gay!

The solar corona, or upper atmosphere, is only visible during a solar eclipse.
The outermost layer of the Sun, if you mean the surface, is called the photosphere. If you mean in the atmosphere, it is called the chromosphere which can only be observed on the day of a solar eclipse. Beyond that there is a very tenuous layer called the corona. I think that's the "outermost layer".
