How does the sun's photosphere affect earth?

Answer 1

The photosphere is the layer of the Sun where visible light is created.

The Sun is made up of various levels or regions, and each region functions differently from the others.

Without that layer, we would not be able to see the Sun or the visible light that "lights up" our planet. The photosphere is the top layer of the Sun, where nuclear reactions take place that produce visible light.

(Of course, since sight is a crucial component of many different animals' sensory organs, including humans, it makes sense that our eyes would have evolved to detect available wavelengths!)

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
