The visible 'surface' of the sun where light is emitted and sunspots can be observed, considered the layer from which sunlight is radiated.

A layer where energy is transferred outward by the radiation of photons, which can take a very long time due to the 'random walk' of photons.

Above the photosphere, characterized by a reddish glow as seen during a solar eclipse, with spicules and flares stemming from this layer.

The sun's outer atmosphere, distinguished by its hot, ionized gases that extend millions of kilometers into space, observable during a total solar eclipse.

The outermost layer of the sun's interior where energy is transferred by convection currents, causing the solar material to circulate.
