Did u know ? Our Sun's atmosphere(Corona) is another 300-500 times hotter than its Surface.

The sun's surface is blisteringly hot at 10,340 degrees Fahrenheit -- but its atmosphere is another 300 times hotter i.e 2 million degrees Fahrenheit. This has led to an enduring mystery for those who study the sun: What heats the atmosphere to such extreme temperatures? Normally when you move away from a hot source the environment gets cooler, but some mechanism is clearly at work in the solar atmosphere, the corona, to bring the temperatures up so high, which is still a mystery.

FIG .1] Check the Sectional picture below to understand the different temperatures of the sun from its core to corona.

FIG .2] During a total solar eclipse, the Sun's corona is visible to the naked eye.

The coronal heating mystery is one outstanding question and it is still unsolved in physics.

Well,
Little do we know, the greatest mysteries of the universe hide in the darkest depths, yet be discovered and explored to beyond and infinity - BruceWayne.

Good to read about a different corona while the novel corona virus is still refusing to calm down :Like:

It seems there are theories which try to explain this phenomenon; some of them using concepts of electromagnetic waves. For the keen readers, please find more here.

India is planning its next space mission to study the sun's corona.

Aditya-L1 is a planned coronagraphy spacecraft to study the solar atmosphere, currently being designed and developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

Did u know ? Our Sun's atmosphere(Corona) is another 300-500 times hotter than its Surface.
