Since the Sun is a ball of gas, this is not a solid surface but is actually a layer about 100 km thick]]> 2017-01-13 20:30:49 UTC https://padlet.com/presley_sweet/h84v8e71iogm/wish/147151297 presley_sweet https://padlet.com/presley_sweet/h84v8e71iogm/wish/147151400 The chromosphere is the second of the three main layers in the Sun's atmosphere and is roughly 3,000 to 5,000 kilometers deep. The chromosphere's red color is only apparent during eclipses.]]> 2017-01-13 20:31:40 UTC https://padlet.com/presley_sweet/h84v8e71iogm/wish/147151400 presley_sweet https://padlet.com/presley_sweet/h84v8e71iogm/wish/147151544 A corona is an aura of plasma that surrounds the sun and other stars.
