The photosphere is the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere where sunlight is emitted. It is the visible surface of the Sun that emits most of the Sun's light we see from Earth. The photosphere is where the temperature starts to decrease with increasing distance from the Sun's core.
The name of the sun's surface layer is called the chromosphere. The other layers of the sun is called photosphere and convection zone.
The photosphere is the visible surface of a star, such as the Sun. It consists of a zone in which the gaseous layers change from being completely opaque to radiation, to being transparent. For example, the photosphere of the Sun is the layer from which the light we actually see (with the human eye) is emitted.
The photosphere, chromosphere, and corona of the Sun are typically visible with specific types of telescopes. The photosphere is the lowest layer and what we usually see with the naked eye, while the chromosphere and corona can be observed during a solar eclipse or with specialized solar telescopes that filter out the intense brightness of the photosphere.
Sunspots are cooler, darker areas on the Sun's photosphere that are caused by magnetic activity inhibiting convection. They appear darker because they are about 1500 degrees Celsius cooler than the surrounding photosphere. Other areas of the photosphere do not have the same magnetic influence that creates sunspots.

The layer of the sun's atmosphere that produces its characteristic color is the chromosphere. This region is located above the photosphere and is responsible for emitting a reddish color during solar eclipses. The chromosphere is also crucial for studying phenomena like solar flares and prominences.
The photosphere is the visible surface of the Sun, where most of the sunlight is emitted. It is located above the core of the Sun, where nuclear fusion reactions take place and produce the Sun's energy. The core is the central region of the Sun and is much hotter and denser than the photosphere.

The chromosphere is the second of the three main layers of the Sun's atmosphere, located above the photosphere and below the corona. It is characterized by a reddish color and consists of hot, thin gas that emits light primarily in the hydrogen-alpha spectral line. The chromosphere is most easily visible during solar eclipses.
An opaque layer is a layer that does not allow light to pass through it, resulting in the inability to see objects on the other side. It is the opposite of a transparent layer, which allows light to pass through easily. Opaque layers are commonly used in materials like paint, metal, and paper to block light and provide privacy or protection.

The sun's photosphere is often mistakenly referred to as the surface of the sun. In reality however, the sun's photosphere is only a "liquid-like" plasma layer made of neon that covers the actual surface of the sun. That visible layer we see with our eyes is composed of penumbral filaments that are several hundred kilometers deep. This visible neon plasma layer that we call the photosphere, and a thicker, more dense atmospheric layer composed of silicon plasma, entirely covers the actual rocky, calcium ferrite surface layer of the sun. The visible photosphere covers the actual surface of the sun, much as the earth's oceans cover most of the surface of the earth. In this case the sun's photosphere is very bright and we cannot see the darker, more rigid surface features below the photosphere without the aid of satellite technology.i'm sorry, but you kinda COPY & PASTED that, because just before i visited your answer, i went on a website, and saw exactly the same thing. the main point of this site is to give the answer in your own words, on the other hand i know what the photosphere is, and what the sun is mainly made out of, but i just needed a bit more info. sorry, but your gonna have to do a little bit better than than. yours sincerely,PhsycoChem
