[C] Core, Photosphere, Radiative Zone, Convective Zone, Chromosphere, Corona

[D] Core, Corona, Radiative Zone, Convective Zone, Photosphere, Chromosphere

Answer: B
Notes:

Explanation – The Sun’s layers, from the innermost to the outermost, are:

  • Core – The central region where nuclear fusion occurs, generating energy.
  • Radiative Zone – The layer where energy is transferred outward by radiation.
  • Convective Zone – The outer layer of the Sun’s interior, where energy is transported by convection currents.
  • Photosphere – The visible surface of the Sun, from where most of the Sun’s light is emitted.
  • Chromosphere – A reddish layer above the photosphere, visible during a solar eclipse.
  • Corona – The outermost layer of the Sun’s atmosphere, extremely hot and visible during total solar eclipses.
