A
Core
B
Photosphere
C
Solar Wind
D
Corona
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The photosphere is the lowest layer of the solar atmosphere. It is essentially the solar “surface” that we see when we look at the Sun in “white” (i.e. regular, or visible) light.

Detailed explanation-2: -Around the core lie two layers: a thick layer called the radiative zone and a thinner, cooler layer called the convective zone. Surrounding all of them is the sun’s surface layer, known as the photosphere. Above this lies the sun’s thin atmosphere, which is made up of the chromosphere and the corona.

Detailed explanation-3: -The photosphere is marked by bright, bubbling granules of plasma and darker, cooler sunspots, which emerge when the sun’s magnetic field breaks through the surface. Sunspots appear to move across the sun’s disk.

Detailed explanation-4: -The boundary between the Sun’s interior and the solar atmosphere is called the photosphere. It is what we see as the visible surface of the Sun.

Detailed explanation-5: -The photosphere is the layer of the sun that we can see from Earth.
