photosphere
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.
5,800 K
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.
15 million k
The photosphere emits white light, which is a combination of all colors in the visible spectrum. This light originates from the intense heat of the Sun's outer layer.
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.
