The layer of the suns atmosphere that looks like a halo during a eclipse?

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.

What does an eclipse look like?

There are various stages to a solar eclipse as the moon gradually covers the sun over the course of a few hours. At first it looks likea bite has been taken out of the sun, then the sun becomes a cresant. You then see 'beads' and finally a 'diamond ring' effect as the last rays of sun come through the valleys on the moon surface, before it goes dark and the moon completely covers the sun. You can then see the atmosphere of the sun, the corona, for a few seconds until the sun breaks back through from the other side and the process continues in reverse.


DUring a total solar eclipse does the sky grow dark?

Yes, during a total solar eclipse, the sky can grow dark as the Moon passes in front of the Sun and blocks its light. This blocking of the sunlight can create a temporary darkness as if it were nighttime, allowing stars and planets to be visible during the daytime.
