English - English
The faint pink extension of a star's atmospheric envelope between the corona and the photosphere
Layer in the sun and most other stars just above the photosphere
the lower atmosphere of the Sun that appears as a thin rosy ring around the edge of the solar disk during a total eclipse
a gaseous layer of the sun's atmosphere (extending from the photosphere to the corona) that is visible during a total eclipse of the sun
Layer of the Sun's atmosphere, several thousand miles thick, above the photosphere and below the corona. The chromosphere (literally "colour sphere") is briefly visible as a thin ring, red from hydrogen's emission spectrum, during solar eclipses when the photosphere is obscured by the Moon. At other times it can be observed only with special instruments. Its temperatures range from about 7,000 °F (4,000 °C) about 700 mi (1,100 km) above the photosphere, increasing with altitude to several hundred thousand degrees. Solar flares and solar prominences are mainly chromospheric phenomena
{i} outer layer of the sun's atmosphere (Astronomy)
the hot, thin layer of the Sun's atmosphere right above its photosphere
The layer of the solar atmosphere that is located above the photosphere and beneath the transition region and the corona The chromosphere is hotter than the photosphere but not as hot as the corona more!
"Colour sphere" or layer of the sun's atmosphere between the photosphere and the corona Appears as a red ring around the solar limb during a solar eclipse Plage regions are visible in the chromosphere, usually overlying sunspot groups
chrooma = [Greek] color; sphairos = [Greek] ball The chromosphere is a layer in the Sun that is roughly between about 250 miles (400 km) and 1300 miles (2100 km) above the solar surface The temperature in the chromosphere varies between about 4000 K at the bottom (the so-called temperature minimum) and 8000 K at the top (6700 and 14,000 degrees F, 3700 and 7700 degrees C), so in this layer (and higher layers) it actually gets hotter if you go further away from the Sun The density in the chromosphere is much, much smaller than the density of air at sea level on Earth At the top of the chromosphere there are only about 10 thousand million atoms in each cubic centimetre (100 thousand million atoms per cubic inch) The chromosphere shows up in images taken in the center of the H-alpha spectral line and also (briefly) near the beginning and end of a total solar eclipse You can see the chromosphere in the Solar Layer Image
Part of the Sun's atmosphere, just above the photosphere and below the corona, with a temperature of about 4,500K
The region of the Sun's surface that lies between the photosphere and the transition zone It appear magenta or pink during total eclipses of the Sun
The faint pink extension of a stars atmospheric envelope between the corona and the photosphere
The part of the Sun's atmosphere between the photosphere and the corona
The layer between the photosphere and the corona in the atmosphere of the Sun, or any other star, mainly composed of excited hydrogen atoms
The Sun's lower atmosphere, lying just above the visible photosphere
The lower level of the solar atmosphere between the photosphere and the corona
narrow pinkish portion of the Sun's atmosphere lying immediately above the photosphere and below the corona
The layer of the solar atmosphere above the photosphere and beneath the transition region and the corona The chromosphere is the source of the strongest lines in the solar spectrum, including the Balmer alpha line of hydrogen and the H and K lines of calcium, and is the source of the red (chromium) color often seen around the rim of the Moon at total solar eclipses
An atmosphere of rare matter, composed principally of incandescent hydrogen gas, surrounding the sun and enveloping the photosphere
A thin layer of relatively transparent gases above the photosphere of the sun It is observed best during a total eclipse of the sun
That part of the solar atmosphere that lies immediately above the photospheric layers
Middle solar atmosphere layer defined to begin at the temperature minimum in the solar atmosphere of 4300 degrees Kelvin, extends approximately 3000 km; region where solar flares are observed
The layer of the solar atmosphere above the photosphere and beneath the transition region and the corona It is seen during eclipses as a bright red ring around the Sun, and the term burning prairie has been used to describe it
An incandescent, transparent layer of gas, mainly hydrogen, several thousand miles in depth, that lies above and surrounds the photosphere of the sun but is distinctly separate from the corona
The part of the Sun's atmosphere just above the surface
Portions of the chromosphere are here and there thrown up into enormous tongues of flame
An incandescent, transparent layer of gas lying above and surrounding the photosphere of a star, but clearly separated from the corona; the outermost layer of the solar atmosphere
a reddish layer in the Sun's atmosphere, the transition between the photosphere and the corona
