Question

Which layer of the sun is shown extending into space in the picture above?

Answer 1

Answer:

photosphere

Explanation:

because the outer layer is the layer that is visible .Since the Sun is a ball of gas, this is not a solid surface but is actually a layer about 100 km thick (very, very, thin compared to the 700,000 km radius of the Sun)

Answer 2

The Sun's outer gases extend far beyond the photosphere (Figure 6). Because they are transparent to most visible radiation and emit only a small amount of light, these outer layers are difficult to observe. The region of the Sun's atmosphere that lies immediately above the photosphere is called the chromosphere.
