Explanation: the photosphere is described as the Sun’s visible "surface" (yellow‑white light) while the chromosphere is noted for its reddish H‑alpha emission seen at eclipses. Plasma composition (mostly H/He) is similar through those layers, and depth or detailed energy‑transport mechanisms are not the usual way they are identified in basic descriptions.
