The photosphere is the layer in the sun's atmosphere that is dense enough to emit plenty of light but not so dense that the light can't escape. Below the photosphere, the gas is denser and hotter therefore radiates plenty of light, but that light cannot escape from the sun because it is blocked by the outer layers of gas. so you cannot detect light from these deeper layers.

We can't see deeper into the sun than the photosphere because the sun's inner layers are not transparent like the photosphere. The photosphere is the visible surface of the sun, beyond which the gas becomes denser and blocks visible light from escaping. The interior of the sun is also extremely hot and dense, making it difficult for light to penetrate and for us to observe those layers directly.
The photosphere is the visible "surface" of a star such as the sun from which the light we see emanates.
The photosphere is the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere that emits visible light. It is the region where most of the sun's energy is radiated into space. The photosphere is the part of the Sun that we see as the visible surface.
we would see the heat and light radiating as is it were to explode in that area
The name of the sun's surface layer is called the chromosphere. The other layers of the sun is called photosphere and convection zone.

The part of the sun that is going to emit the most visible light is going to be the Photosphere
