which layer of the sun is responsible for producing the light shown in the picture above?
○ radiative zone
○ convective zone
○ photosphere
○ chromosphere
The image shows solar prominences and the bright outer atmospheric light of the Sun. The chromosphere is the Sun's middle atmospheric layer, which emits the reddish-orange visible light and features like solar flares/prominences seen in this filtered NASA image. The radiative and convective zones are internal layers not visible, while the photosphere is the visible surface with darker sunspots, not the bright flaring outer light here.
