SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -It appears as white streamers or plumes of ionized gas that flow outward into space. Temperatures in the sun’s corona (opens in new tab) can get as high as 3.5 million degrees F (2 million degrees C).

Detailed explanation-2: -The Short Answer: The Sun’s corona is the outermost part of the Sun’s atmosphere. The corona is usually hidden by the bright light of the Sun’s surface. That makes it difficult to see without using special instruments. However, the corona can be viewed during a total solar eclipse.

Detailed explanation-3: -The corona is the outermost layer of the Sun’s atmosphere where strong magnetic fields bind plasma and prevent turbulent solar winds from escape.

Detailed explanation-4: -Because the coronal material is so thin and tenuous, only a tiny portion of all the sound energy in the photosphere needs to bleed up into the corona and be absorbed in order to heat it to the observed temperatures.
