SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -The photosphere is the lowest layer of the sun’s atmosphere-the innermost layer we can observe directly. The term photosphere means “sphere of light” and is the layer where most of the sun’s energy is emitted. It takes about eight minutes for sunlight from the photosphere to reach Earth.

Detailed explanation-2: -Epipelagic Zone. This surface layer is also called the sunlight zone and extends from the surface to 200 meters (660 feet). It is in this zone that most of the visible light exists.

Detailed explanation-3: -the photosphere-the visible “surface” of the Sun. the sunspots-dark areas on the photosphere, which are cooler than the surroundings. the various phenomena in the atmosphere, like “flares” and “prominences"

Detailed explanation-4: -The light that illuminates our world and enables us to see things with our eyes comes from the photosphere of the Sun. To most of us, the photosphere is the Sun. Most of the energy that we receive from the Sun is the visible, or white light that radiates from the thin, relatively cool photosphere.

Detailed explanation-5: -The photosphere is about 300 km thick. Most of the Sun’s visible light that we see originates from this region. The chromosphere is about 2000 km thick.
