The corona of the Sun isn't very bright; compared to the Sun itself, it is almost black. So when the Sun itself is visible, we cannot see the corona because all we can see is the Sun. It would be like trying to see the flame of a candle right next to a searchlight; all you would see would be the searchlight.
We can only see the Sun's corona when the light from the Sun itself is blocked - as in a total solar eclipse. There are also specialized instruments called "coronagraphs" that block out the light from the Sun but allow the coronal light to come in.

Which of the suns layer is visible during eclipses?
The corona during total solar eclipses.
Which of the suns layers only visible during eclipses?
Chromosphere and corona
What layer of the sun's atmosphere is visible during a total solar eclipse?
The outermost layer of the sun is the corona. Only visible during eclipses, it is a low density cloud of plasma with higher transparency than the inner layers.
How often does an annular eclipse occur?
Annular solar eclipses occur when the moon is too far away from earth to completely cover the face of the sun, leaving a thin 'ring' of uncovered sun around the edge of the moon. This is different from a partial eclipse in which the moon does not align with the sun in such a way that the sun is completely blocked. Annular eclipses would occur only when the moon is at or near apogee, its farthest approach to earth. A+: when the moon is at apogee
What effects would a shrunken sun have on a solar eclipse?
A solar eclipse of a Sun that was smaller but a Moon that is the same size and distance as our Moon would mean that eclipses would last longer, you would never get an annular eclipse, a larger area would experience each eclipse.

Which of the suns layers is only visible during eclipses?
The corona is the sun's outermost layer, which is only visible during a total solar eclipse when the moon covers the sun's surface. The corona is much dimmer than the sun's surface, making it visible only when the sun's bright photosphere is blocked.
What is the outermost region of the sun called?
The outermost region of the Sun is called the corona. It is a superheated layer of plasma that extends into space and is visible during solar eclipses as a halo of light around the Sun.

Which layers of the sun are only seen during a solar eclipse?
Usually, we cannot see the corona because of the brightness of the photosphere. However, during a total solar eclipse, the corona shines beautifully against the dark sky. During a partial or an annular eclipse, a ring of the photosphere is visible around the Moon and the corona is not visible.
What is a very hot gas of the sun only visible during a total eclipse?
I'm not exactly sure what you are asking but the sun is visible everyday! Just look up. During a Total Solar eclipse however the outer atmosphere of the sun known as the corona is visible. This is the only time that it can been seen (with the naked eye) from earth.
What is the layer below the corona?
The layer below the corona is the chromosphere. It lies just below the corona and is characterized by a reddish glow during solar eclipses.
What are the 3 layers of the suns atmos psphere?
The Sun's atmosphere consists of three main layers: the photosphere, chromosphere, and corona. The photosphere is the visible surface of the Sun, where sunlight is emitted. Above it lies the chromosphere, a thin layer that can be observed during solar eclipses, characterized by its reddish color. The outermost layer, the corona, extends far into space and is visible during total solar eclipses, exhibiting a much higher temperature than the layers below it.
How is a solar eclipse bright?
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.
