General Science Module 5

The outer layer of the sun’s atmosphere

• corona

• photosphere

• chromosphere

• core

Inner plasma layer of the sun’s atmosphere that is extremely hot

• chromosphere

• photosphere

Plasma here is heated from the core and then rise to the photosphere

• convective zone

• radiative zone

Heat from the core radiates here as photon energy and is high pressured

• convective zone

• radiative zone
