    Hi Lexio Good question. We describe the Sun as having layers, kind of like an onion. On the inside is the core, then the radiative zone, then the convective zone, followed by the photosphere, the chromosphere and finally the corona. You can find a more detailed description of each area with a diagram at the website below. Thanks Dawn http://sohowww/classroom/classroom.html
