The Suns Layers
About the Layers of the Sun
Core
The Core is source of the energy. The core is also the hottest part of the sun.
Radiative Zone
The solar interior between the innermost core and the outer convective zone. In the radiative zone, energy generated by nuclear fusion in the core moves outward as electromagnetic radiation.
Convective Zone
The convection zone is the outer-most layer of the interior. It extends from a depth of 200,000 km up to the visible surface of the Sun.
Photosphere
Yes, this is not a solid surface but is actually a layer about 100 km thick.
Chromosphere
It is the second of the three main layers in the Sun's atmosphere and is roughly 2,000 kilometers deep.
Chorona
It is an aura of plasma that surrounds the sun and other celestial bodies. The Sun's corona extends millions of kilometres into space.
What are Sunspots?
A sunspot is a spot or patch appearing from time to time on the sun's surface, appearing dark by contrast with its surroundings.
What is a Prominence?
A prominence is a large, bright, gaseous feature extending outward from the Sun's surface, often in a loop shape.
What is a Flare?
A solar flare occurs when magnetic energy that has built up in the solar atmosphere is suddenly released.
What is an Aurora?
It is a natural electrical phenomenon characterized by the appearance of streamers of reddish or greenish light in the sky.
