🗑
|
||||
| - The layer of the Sun's atmosphere located above the photosphere, characterized by a reddish color and prominent features such as solar prominences and spicules. | show 🗑
|
||||
| - The outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere, extending millions of kilometers into space and visible during solar eclipses as a faint, glowing halo. | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The Moon;
