The lowest temperatures are from the core.
The lowest temperatures are from the core.

The lowest temperatures are from the photosphere.
The lowest temperatures are from the photosphere.

The highest temperatures are from the radiative zone.

Answer 1

One way the scientists can use temperature to identify which layer they are studying is by noting that the highest temperatures are found in the corona. This distinct characteristic can help the astronomers determine that they are observing the outermost layer of the sun.
