Abstract
Observations show that the Sun is not simply a ball of hot plasma but contains several discrete layers: the interior where the energy is generated is covered by the photosphere, the chromosphere and finally the corona. This article describes a photon’s journey to the outside and links features such as prominences and sunspots to the regions in which they occur.
