Oh, the sun during a solar eclipse is just a magical sight, isn't it? You see, the moon moves between the Earth and the sun, creating what we call an eclipse. This blocks out the majority of sunlight, leaving just a narrow ring or a "diamond ring" effect - only a tiny, dazzling bit of the sun's brilliance peeking through. It's a breathtaking moment to witness the beauty of our universe at work.
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.
The bright halo of the sun's atmosphere visible during a full eclipse is known as the solar corona. It consists of plasma released from the sun's outer layer and is only visible during a total solar eclipse when the moon completely blocks the sun's disk, revealing this outer layer. The corona appears as a shimmering halo of white light extending far beyond the sun's visible edge.

Oh, have you ever seen a solar eclipse, my friend? Such a wondrous sight! Now, the sun isn't necessarily brighter during an eclipse—it's just that the moon is passing between the Earth and the sun, creating that beautiful “ring of fire” effect. Nature always has a way of showing us incredible things, doesn't it?
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.
Yes. But don't look at the Sun directly (assuming you are talking about a solar eclipse). Even during a solar eclipse, the Sun is still bright enough to damage your eyes.
The thin red rim around the Sun during a total solar eclipse is called the solar chromosphere. It is the lower part of the Sun's atmosphere and is visible during a total solar eclipse when the Moon fully covers the Sun's bright disk, allowing the chromosphere to be seen.

The sun is hidden during a solar eclipse
The corona.
The corona of the Sun can only be seen with the naked eye during a total solar eclipse. However, with a special telescope called a coronagraph, you can view the solar corona at any time.During a solar eclipse, you can see the corona as a bright ring. But compared to the brilliance of the Sun itself, the corona is invisibly dim. That's why you can only see it when the Sun itself is hidden behind the Moon.
Simple. You can't see any of the sun during a solar eclipse.
A partial eclipse doesn't hide all the sun's surface. An annular eclipse leaves a ring shape of bright surface all round. A full eclipse doesn't hide the sun's corona which is still quite bright.

Yes, looking at a solar eclipse is worse than looking directly at the sun because the harmful rays of the sun can still damage your eyes during an eclipse, even though it may seem less bright. It is important to use proper eye protection when viewing a solar eclipse.
