Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -What is the Corona? The corona is the outer atmosphere of the sun. It is made of tenuous gases and is normally hiding in plain sight, overwhelmed by the bright light of the sun’s photosphere. When the moon blocks the sun’s face during a total solar eclipse, the corona is revealed as a pearly-white halo around the sun.
Detailed explanation-2: -observing the solar eclipse in the line of totality will see the sun’s photosphere blocked out by the moon’s umbra. For NASA, total solar eclipses give their scientists a chance to observe the corona.
