An even fainter layer of the sun becomes visible.
You can see the corona during a total solar eclipse
The corona.
The Sun's corona.
Usually, we cannot see the corona because of the brightness of the photosphere. However, during a total solar eclipse, the corona shines beautifully against the dark sky. During a partial or an annular eclipse, a ring of the photosphere is visible around the Moon and the corona is not visible.
You can see the corona and chromosphere.
During a TOTAL solar eclipse, one can see the corona, the part that extends millions of miles out into space.
The corona of the Sun can only be seen with the naked eye during a total solar eclipse. However, with a special telescope called a coronagraph, you can view the solar corona at any time.During a solar eclipse, you can see the corona as a bright ring. But compared to the brilliance of the Sun itself, the corona is invisibly dim. That's why you can only see it when the Sun itself is hidden behind the Moon.
The light seen around the sun during a total solar eclipse is the sun's outer atmosphere, known as the corona. The corona appears as a shimmering ring of light due to the sun's intense heat and magnetic fields. This phenomenon is only visible during a total solar eclipse when the moon completely covers the sun, revealing the sun's outer atmosphere.
Not with the naked eye, although we have special instruments - the coronagraph - that allow us to see the solar corona at any time. You can only see the solar corona with the naked eye during a total solar eclipse, and the Moon is already too far away to do that at apogee. If the Moon were further away than it is now, you would NEVER see a total solar eclipse.
No, the corona layer of the Sun is only visible during a total solar eclipse when the Moon blocks the bright sunlight. The corona is the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere, extending millions of kilometers into space and is best observed during a total solar eclipse when the Moon covers the Sun's surface, revealing the corona's faint, ethereal glow.
corona* apex! You can see the corona better, but it is also visible with the naked eye but ONLY WITH APPROPRIATE PROTECTION!
When a solar eclipse happens the moon is in front of the sun. So you see the shadow of the moon you do not see the reflection of the sunlight though. The only thing you see is the shadow of the moon and the sun's corona.
