Here's why:
* Photosphere: This is the visible surface of the Sun. It's the layer where the Sun's energy becomes transparent to light, allowing us to see it.
* Chromosphere: This is a layer above the photosphere, but it's much fainter and only visible during solar eclipses or with specialized telescopes.
* Corona: This is the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere, also faint and only visible during solar eclipses or with special instruments.
While the Sun is a giant ball of plasma and energy, it's the photosphere that we actually see when we look up at the Sun.
