The layer of the solar atmosphere above the photosphere and beneath the transition region and the corona. The chromosphere is the source of the strongest lines in the solar spectrum, including the Bal
mer alpha line of hydrogen and the H and K lines of calcium, and is the source of the red color often seen around the rim of the moon at total solar eclipses.
The region of the Sun’s atmosphere that exists just above the photosphere. The chromosphere is visible with a special narrow band telescope the views the emissions of Hydrogen-alpha.
The region of the Sun's (or a star's)atmosphere above the temperature minimum and below the Transition Region.The solar chromosphere is approximately 400 km to 2100 km above thephotosphere, and charac
terized by temperatures from 4500 - 28000 K.
The relatively thin layer of the solar atmosphere located above the sun's surface. The temperature in the chromosphere rises from 6000 K to about 20,000 K, making it hotter than the photosphere but no
t as hot as the higher atmosphere, the corona.
