Question

Which is a list of the atmospheric layers (observable layers) of the Sun going outward from the "surface"?

a. Photosphere, chromosphere, corona.
b. Corona, chromosphere, photosphere.
c. Photosphere, corona, chromosphere.
d. Corona, photosphere, chromosphere.
e. Chromosphere, photosphere, corona
f. Chromosphere, corona, photosphere.

Answer 1

The correct order of the Sun's atmospheric layers from the surface going outward is the photosphere, followed by the chromosphere, and finally the corona.The correct answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The list of the atmospheric layers of the Sun going outward from the "surface" is a. Photosphere, chromosphere, corona. These layers can be detailed as follows:

• The Solar Photosphere is the layer where the Sun becomes opaque and acts as the visible surface. Beyond this layer, we cannot see through.
• The Chromosphere lies immediately above the photosphere and emits only a small amount of visible light. It was historically observed during total solar eclipses as a narrow red streak.
• The Corona is the outermost part of the Sun's atmosphere, observable during total solar eclipses and extends far beyond the chromosphere, and it is known for its high temperatures.The correct answer is option A.
