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.

Which of the suns layers comes first the photosphere the chromosphere or the corona?

The photosphere comes first, followed by the chromosphere and then the corona. The photosphere is the Sun's visible surface, the chromosphere is the middle layer above the photosphere, and the corona is the outermost layer extending into space.


Is the chromosphere the lower atmosphere of the sun?

No, the chromosphere is a layer of the sun's atmosphere located above the photosphere. It is sandwiched between the photosphere and the corona.


Why is the sun's corona invisible most of the time because?

The sun's corona is typically invisible because its light is overwhelmed by the much brighter photosphere. During a total solar eclipse, the moon blocks the photosphere, allowing the corona to become visible.


What order are the photosphere the chromosphere and the corona in?

The photosphere is the outermost layer of the Sun, followed by the chromosphere, and then the corona. The photosphere is the visible surface of the Sun, while the chromosphere is a layer of hot, ionized gas above it. The corona is the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere, extending millions of kilometers into space.


One statement about the Sun from Part A is The corona is hotter than the photosphere Which of the following statements provides observational evidence for this claim?

One observational evidence for the claim that the corona is hotter than the photosphere is through spectroscopic analysis, where the emission lines from the corona show higher temperatures compared to the absorption lines from the photosphere, indicating a higher temperature in the corona.

Why is it difficult to see the Sun's corona from Earth?

Because the Sun's photosphere is so much brighter in visible light (most of the light the Sun's corona emits is ultraviolet). It is necessary to block the light from the Sun's photosphere to see the Sun's corona.
