At the very center of the sun.
Radiative Zone - Light from the core radiates into this zone
Convective Zone - Light converted to heat rises and cools in a circular pattern here.
Photosphere - This is considered the surface of the sun 
Chromospere - The chromosphere is the layer above the photosphere. It appears as a red glow around the sun and is almost transparent.
Corona - Which means crown is the outermost layer of gases that surround the sun. It is only seen during a solar eclipse.
