Answer:

The answer is: The chromosphere and the solar corona.

Step-by-step explanation:

The chromosphere is the layer of the solar atmosphere located above the photosphere. It is very faint and reddish in color when it becomes visible, for a few seconds, at the beginning and end of an eclipse of the Sun.

The solar corona is the outer part of its atmosphere, which extends over a million kilometers, enters the interplanetary space and can be observed in total eclipses of the Sun when the Moon covers the solar disk.

The answer is: The chromosphere and the solar corona.
