Sun`s Exterior
... The Sun’s Surface The Sun has no solid surface. The features we see on the Sun are located where the Sun goes from opaque to transparent. This layer is known as the “photosphere”. The layers below are dense enough that light must scatter many, many times to flow outward. The Sun’s interior is opaqu ...
