Which is the outermost layer of the atmosphere?

What is the outermost layer of the atmosphere of the sun used to be visible only during total eclipses?

  • Answer:

    The outer layers of the Sun, the "corona", are normally visible only during a total eclipse, because the brightness of the Sun itself would blind you from being able to see the corona. However, a special telescope called a "coronagraph" was invented in 1930 to allow scientists to create their own artificial eclipses by blocking the direct rays of the Sun, and allowing the corona to be seen.
