The photosphere, which is the part of the Sun that is visible to the naked eye and from which most of its light is emitted, the chromosphere, which is a thin layer above the photosphere and appears as a reddish glow during solar eclipses, and the corona, which is the outermost layer and reaches millions of kilometers into space, are the three main layers that make up the Sun's atmosphere.
