The part of the sun that lies directly above the visible surface is called the chromosphere. It literally means "sphere of color".

What level lies above the troposphere?

The stratosphere lies above the troposphere. It extends from about 12 to 50 kilometers above the Earth's surface and contains the ozone layer, which helps absorb ultraviolet radiation from the sun.


What is the bright red layer of the sun surface containing hydrogen gas that can seen?

The bright red layer of the sun's surface containing hydrogen gas that can be seen is called the chromosphere. It lies just above the sun's visible surface, the photosphere, and is responsible for the red color seen during solar eclipses.


When is the sun directly overhead here in Levittown NY?

The sun is never directly overhead in Levittown, NY, as it lies above the Tropic of Cancer.


What part of the sun is most visible?

The most visible part of the Sun is its photosphere, which is the outer layer that emits visible light. The photosphere appears as a bright, glowing surface and has a temperature of about 5,500 degrees Celsius (9,932 degrees Fahrenheit). It is where sunspots and solar flares can be observed, making it crucial for solar studies. Above the photosphere lies the chromosphere and the corona, which are also visible during solar eclipses.


What layer of the sun's atmosphere is composed of super granular cells?

The photosphere is the visible surface of the Sun, which appears as granules (the tops of convection cells). The "supergranules" are a pattern into which the granules may be clumped, and can be considered either structurally part of the photosphere or part of the convection zone that lies directly beneath it. Some sources extend the term "supergranulation" to include both the photosphere and the chromosphere (which does not, however, use convection).

When an upper- level low lies directly above a surface low?

When an upper-level low lies directly above a surface low, it typically enhances the surface low's strength and can lead to increased atmospheric instability. This configuration often results in the development of more intense precipitation and severe weather, as the upward motion associated with the upper-level low helps to intensify the convection at the surface. The alignment also contributes to a well-defined pressure gradient, which can enhance wind speeds. Overall, this scenario is often associated with significant storm systems.
