Question

Which layer of the sun is responsible for producing the light shown in the picture above?

Radiative zone
Convective zone
Photosphere
Chromosphere

Answer 1

It is photosphere, so your answer would be C. I took the quiz and this was the answer.

The photosphere basically radiates light into space, that's why that's the answer! Have a great day!

Answer 2

C. Photosphere

Step-by-step explanation:

The lights shown in the figure comes from the outermost layer of the Sun. This layer is called photosphere.

This is the layer from where the light of the Sun is radiated, before travelling through space and reaching us.

The photosphere is the coldest layer of the Sun: its surface temperature is between 4500 and 6000 K. Its width is approximately 100 km.

A characteristic of the photosphere is the presence of the sunspots, which appear as darker spots, and are regions of lower temperature caused by a concentration of magnetic flux.
