Term Definition

Chromosphere A) Layer of the sun where energy is transferred by thermal conduction.

Photosphere B) Contains the sun's outer shell from which light energy is radiated.

Radiative zone C) Layer of the sun that is known for its red color and can only be seen during eclipses

Corona D) The plasma that surrounds the sun

Respuesta :

Explanation :

(1) Chromosphere: It is a layer above the photosphere. The temperature in chromosphere increases  from  [tex]6000^0\ C[/tex] to [tex]20,000^0\ C[/tex]. This layer is known for its red color and can only be seen during eclipses.

(2) Photosphere: It is the outer layer of the star which contains sun's outer shell from which light energy is radiated.

(3) Radiative zone: it is a layer of sun where energy is transmitted towards via radiative diffusion or conduction.

(4) Corona: It is a plasma that surrounds the sun and the other stars.

Hence, this is the required definitions.
