What are the different layers of the Sun and what are the layers of the Earth´s atmosphere?
The innermost layer of the Sun is called the Core. Nuclear fusion, which creates the light the Sun emits, occurs within the Core, which has a temperature of 27 million degrees F (15 million C). The second layer out is the radiative layer. This layer is like an insulator, and helps maintain the temperature of the core. The third layer is the convective layer. The energy of the sun is carried further out from the core by convection in the layer. The next layer is the photosphere, which is the part of the sun that we see with our eyes. Sunspots appear in the photosphere. The fifth layer is the chromosphere which is darker than the photosphere and can only be seen during an eclipse. The chromosphere is where solar flares can best be seen. The next layer is the corona which is comprised of two layers. The inner corona is a halo which extends millions of miles away from the sun. The corona is much hotter than the photosphere and produces x-rays. The outer corona extends to the earth and far
