The solar atmosphere consists of three main layers: the photosphere, chromosphere, and corona. The photosphere is the visible surface of the Sun, where sunlight is emitted. Above it lies the chromosphere, characterized by a red hue during solar eclipses, and it features spicules and solar prominences. The outermost layer, the corona, extends millions of kilometers into space and is visible during a total solar eclipse, exhibiting temperatures much higher than those of the layers beneath it.
