What is the difference between photosphere and corona?

The photosphere is the atmospheric layer of the Sun that emits light (photo- means light). The Corona is the last part of the Sun's atmosphere that extends more than one million kilometers from its surface, where the temperature can reach two million degrees. It is in the plasma state of matter, and it creates solar wind. The Corona does not emit light, and the photosphere cannot create solar wind.
