The part of the sun that lies directly above the visible surface is called the chromosphere. It literally means "sphere of color".

When is the sun directly overhead here in Levittown NY?
The sun is never directly overhead in Levittown, NY, as it lies above the Tropic of Cancer.
Why is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum you can see called ultraviolet light?
Its not. You can't see ultraviolet. (it lies just above the visible spectrum.)
What layer of the sun's atmosphere is composed of super granular cells?
The photosphere is the visible surface of the Sun, which appears as granules (the tops of convection cells). The "supergranules" are a pattern into which the granules may be clumped, and can be considered either structurally part of the photosphere or part of the convection zone that lies directly beneath it. Some sources extend the term "supergranulation" to include both the photosphere and the chromosphere (which does not, however, use convection).
How hot is the sun's photosphere?
The "optical" surface of the Sun (known as the photosphere) is known to have a temperature of approximately 6,000 K. Above it lies the solar corona, rising to a temperature of around 1,000,000-2,000,000 K
What are three reasons why most craters left on Earth are no longer visible?
Since the Earth's crust is a dynamic surface that is controlled by convection in the Earths core, the plates on which the surface lies are moving, called plate tectonics. This tectonic motion produces subduction which recycles and changes the Earths surface resulting in a ever changing and recycled surface, that does not preserve impact craters. Also, erosional and weathering processes erode away the higher parts of craters leaving no clear marking of craters over a long period of time.

What type of radiation lies at frequencies just below the frequencies of visible light?
Infrared is directly below, next is x-ray, next is radio.
Where does the meososphere begin?
The mesosphere lies between ~4800 km and ~8000 km above the Earth's surface
