Question
- which of the following layers of the sun has a reddish color due to its temperature?
○ photosphere
○ corona
○ chromosphere
○ atmosphere
The chromosphere is a layer of the sun that appears reddish. This is because of its temperature and the emission of light in the red part of the spectrum (e.g., due to hydrogen emission lines, especially the H - alpha line which is red). The photosphere is the visible surface with a yellow - white appearance, the corona is the outer atmosphere visible during eclipses and is very hot and has a pearly white appearance, and "atmosphere" is a general term not a specific sun layer with a reddish color.
