Detailed explanation-1: -Temperatures range from about 4, 000°C to about 10, 000°C. The chromosphere is not as hot as other parts of the Sun, and it glows red. Jets of gas sometimes fly up through the chromosphere. With speeds up to 72, 000 km per hour, the jets can fly as high as 10, 000 km.
Detailed explanation-2: -Jets of gas fire up through the chromosphere at speeds up to 72, 000 kilometers per hour, reaching heights as high as 10, 000 kilometers. The corona is the outermost layer of the Sun and is the outermost part of its atmosphere. It is the Sun’s halo or “crown”.
Detailed explanation-3: -The second outer layer of the sun’s atmosphere is called the chromosphere. This is the middle layer of the sun’s atmosphere. The hydrogen atoms in this layer absorb much of the energy that passes through from the surface of the sun. This energy is converted into red light that is emitted into the corona.
Detailed explanation-4: -The chromosphere is mainly made of hydrogen and helium plasma, which is ionized to produce red visible light, as seen during an eclipse.
