The sunlight zone, also known as the photic zone, is the upper layer of the ocean where sunlight penetrates, typically extending to about 200 meters (656 feet) deep. This zone is vital for photosynthesis, supporting a diverse array of marine life, including phytoplankton, which forms the base of the oceanic food chain. Warm temperatures and abundant light promote a high level of biological activity, making it home to many species of fish, marine mammals, and coral reefs. Additionally, the sunlight zone plays a crucial role in regulating Earth's climate by absorbing carbon dioxide.
