Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The sun is composed of layers similar to the Earth.Which of the following is the correct order of the structures of the Sun from outside to inside?
A
corona, chromosphere, photosphere, core
B
photosphere, corona, chromosphere, core
C
corona, photosphere, chromosphere, core
D
core, photosphere, chromosphere, corona
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The inner layers are the Core, Radiative Zone and Convection Zone. The outer layers are the Photosphere, the Chromosphere, the Transition Region and the Corona.

Detailed explanation-2: -the corona-the outermost, hot shell of the atmosphere. the chromosphere-a transparent layer between the corona and the photosphere. the photosphere-the visible “surface” of the Sun.

Detailed explanation-3: -In studying the structure of the Sun, solar physicists divide it into four domains: the interior, the surface atmospheres, the inner corona, and the outer corona.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Sun’s interior is divided further into three parts – core, radiative zone, and convective zone. Inside the Sun, energy is created in the core and is moved from the center to the surface through both radiation and convection, similarly to how bubbles move upward in a pot of boiling water on your stove.
