Astronomers have primarily formed their ideas about the layers of the Sun by using theoretical models combined with known data. This approach involves incorporating observations from various sources, such as spectroscopy and helioseismology, to understand the processes occurring in the Sun's interior and atmosphere. Observations during solar eclipses and other methods have contributed, but the combination of theory and data has been key to understanding the Sun's structure.
