What is above the photosphere?
On a star, the chromosphere is the next layer above the photosphere.
What does photosphere mean in science?
The photosphere is the visible "surface" of a star such as the sun from which the light we see emanates.
What part of the star is seen from the earth?
The photosphere.
How do stars make radiant energy?
Thermonuclear fusion in the core of the star heats the material of the star. A series of complex energy transfer mechanisms transport the heat from the core to the photosphere of the star. The photosphere then emits electromagnetic radiation.
What happens on the photosphere?
The photosphere is the visible layer of the sun (or any other star). Light energy and photons and other solar radiation are given off and escape the sun from the photosphere. Photo=light.
Is the Photosphere the outer layer on a star?
Magnetosphere is the layer above the photospere.
What is a visible bright gas surface of the star?
I think you are looking for the Photosphere. That is the part of a star that emits visible light.
Layer of the sun from which sunlight comes?
photosphere.
Relate the stellar temperature to the classification of a star?
Stellar classification is based on the analysis of light from stars. The temperature from the photosphere of the star effects the amount and types of ions and this is used classifying the star.
Where is the photosphere and what is its function?
the photosphere does nothing
What is a sentence for photosphere?
the sun has a photosphere.
The layer of the sun that radiates most of the light that reaches earth is called the?
The Photosphere is the layer of the sun or any star that radiates light. This layer is extended into the Sun's surface until its plasma shows opacity, and reaches the equivalent of an optical depth of two-thirds. The Photosphere is the deepest part of a star that has photon transparency depending on wavelength.
