We can only see the sun's corona (the outer layer of its atmosphere) during a solar eclipse. During the regular day, the sun's photosphere (inner layer of its atmosphere) and cromosphere (middle layer of its atmosphere) are brighter than the corona so it can't be seen. People actually shouldn't even be looking at the sun directly to try and see the corona.

Why the suns corona can be seen during an eclipse but not at other times?

The sun's corona is ordinarily not visible (from earth) because though the corona itself is extremely bright, the rest of the sun is even brighter. The sun creates so much light that it makes the corona invisible from earth. The corona however can be seen during a solar eclipse. If you are asking this question than hopefully you already know what a solar eclipse is. If you don' know, a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes directly between Earth and the sun, blocking sunlight from Earth. The reason you can see the corona is because the moon though it is much smaller than the sun, looks as if it takes up the the whole sun; that is how it looks like from Earth because of the relative distance between the moon, the sun, and Earth. Since the corona is the most faint layer of the sun, when the rest of the sun is no longer visible (as it is not in a solar eclipse) there is no brighter light that outshines the corona which makes the corona the only visible light coming from the moon and in turn making the corona visible. I do hope this explanation has answered your question and the ones you haven't even asked.
