Simple question, how far from the core does each layer of the sun's atmosphere start? I couldn't find enough information in google.
The discussion centers on the distances from the core of the Sun to its atmospheric layers, specifically the photosphere and chromosphere. According to NASA's resources, the photosphere begins approximately 400 kilometers (about 248 miles) from the core, while the chromosphere starts just above the photosphere. Additionally, participants express frustration over the use of miles as a measurement unit. The pressure levels of the chromosphere and photosphere were also queried but not answered in the discussion.
