The Sun Sunspot Jet passing in front of the Sun Warning: Never look at the Sun without the proper equipment. Introduction Below is diagram showing the layers of the Sun that can be directly observed. We can only "see" into the interior with sophisticated techniques such as helioseismology. Corona Chromosphere Photosphere Interior of the Sun Region of the Thickness (km) Density T Temperature (K) (kg/m3) Sun 150,000 at core 15 million at core 696,000 Core to Photosphere 5800 2 x 10-4 Photosphere 500 4500 5 x 10-6 1500 Chromosphere 1 million about 1 million 10 12 Corona (turns into the Solar Wind)
