The scientists can identify the layers by noting that the highest temperatures are found in the corona. The corona, which is the outermost layer of the sun's atmosphere, can reach millions of degrees Celsius, significantly hotter than the inner layers, while the core, despite being extremely hot, does not have the highest temperature when compared to the corona. Thus, if they observe that a specific layer has very high temperatures, they can conclude that they are studying the corona.
Two astronomers are viewing temperature data from each of the sun's layers, but the layers aren't identified. Describe one way the scientists can use temperature to identify which layer they are studying.(1 point)
