Plasma Physics
The photosphere is the visible surface layer of a star, including our Sun, from which light is emitted and is typically the layer we see when observing the star. It is where the temperature drops dramatically from the hotter layers below, leading to the formation of the light we perceive as the star's glow. The photosphere plays a critical role in stellar radiation and is essential for understanding stellar atmospheres and the processes that govern solar and stellar dynamics.
congrats on reading the definition of photosphere. now let's actually learn it.
