Answer to Problem 1RQ

No, we can’t able to see deeper into the sun. The sun’s visible layer is the photosphere.

Explanation of Solution

The sun’s atmospheres are photosphere, chromosphere and corona layers. The visible surface of the sun is photosphere. It is not a solid state. The photosphere has more gaseous state. It is really a very low-density gas layer.

Above the photosphere is the chromosphere. The lower edge of the chromosphere is lying above the visible surface of the sun. Most of the solar photons escape to the space from the photosphere. So we can able to the photosphere layer of the sun.

Conclusion:

Therefore, No, we can’t able to see deeper into the sun. The sun’s visible layer is the photosphere.
