The corona.
The corona is (visually) a fairly bright, hazy "halo" around the sun that can be seen during totality of a solar eclipse. It is always there, but under normal circumstances, the sun is so intensely bright that the much dimmer corona cannot be seen.
During a solar eclipse, the only part of the Sun that can be seen is its outer atmosphere, known as the corona. This is because the Moon blocks out the Sun's bright surface, allowing the fainter corona to be visible.
The layer of the Sun's atmosphere that looks like a halo during a solar eclipse is the corona. The corona is the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere and is only visible during a total solar eclipse when the Moon blocks out the bright surface of the Sun, allowing the wispy corona to be seen extending around the edges of the eclipsed Sun.
The corona and chromosphere are not easily visible during regular daylight because they are much fainter than the Sun's bright surface (photosphere). The chromosphere, a thin layer above the photosphere, emits light primarily in specific wavelengths, while the corona, the outer atmosphere of the Sun, is only visible during a total solar eclipse when the bright photosphere is obscured. During an eclipse, the corona's ethereal glow becomes apparent, revealing its structure and dynamics. Without such conditions, both layers remain hidden in the overwhelming brightness of the Sun.
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.

The layer of the sun's atmosphere that appears as a halo during a solar eclipse is called the corona. It is the outermost layer of the sun's atmosphere, extending millions of kilometers into space and characterized by its high temperatures and plasma. The corona is visible only during a total solar eclipse when the sun's bright light is obscured by the moon.

Science is gay!
The corona, which is the sun's plasma 'atmosphere'.
Visible light from the photosphere (the Sun's surface) normally "swamps" the light from the outer parts. But the Sun's disc is covered during an eclipse, allowing us to see the Sun's "atmosphere".

The bright hazy light around the moon during a total solar eclipse is the sun's corona, which is the outer atmosphere of the sun. This corona is usually hidden from view by the sun's bright light, but during a total eclipse, when the moon completely covers the sun, the corona becomes visible. It appears as a glowing halo, often with a wispy or feathered appearance, and provides a stunning contrast to the darkened sky.
