Since I can't view images directly, I’ll help you solve the
"Layers of the Sun" labeling task based on standard solar structure knowledge and the provided word bank.

🔍 Understanding the Layers of the Sun
The Sun has several distinct layers, from the
innermost core to the
outer atmosphere. Here’s how they are ordered from
inside to outside:
1.
Core – The center where nuclear fusion occurs.
2.
Radiative Zone – Energy moves outward via radiation.
3.
Convection Zone – Energy is transported by convection currents.
4.
Photosphere – The visible surface of the Sun; where sunlight is emitted.
5.
Chromosphere – A layer above the photosphere, visible during solar eclipses.
6.
Transition Zone – A thin region between chromosphere and corona.
7.
Corona – The outermost layer; seen as a halo during total solar eclipses.

✔ Labeling the Diagram (From Inside to Outside)
Now, let's match the labels to the correct parts of the diagram using the
word bank:
>
Word Bank:
> - chromosphere
> - convection zone
> - core
> - corona
> - photosphere
> - radiative zone
> - transition zone
Assuming the diagram shows concentric circles with lines pointing to each layer:
#### 🌞 Starting from the
center (innermost):
1.
Core → innermost circle
2.
Radiative Zone → next layer out from core
3.
Convection Zone → just outside radiative zone
4.
Photosphere → the visible "surface" of the Sun
5.
Chromosphere → immediately above photosphere
6.
Transition Zone → very thin layer above chromosphere
7.
Corona → outermost layer, extending into space (often shown as spiky or flared)

📝 Final Answer: Label Each Box Based on Position
Let’s assume the
arrows point in this order (from inside to outside):
-
Innermost circle:
Core
-
Next ring:
Radiative Zone
-
Next ring:
Convection Zone
-
Outer visible layer (surface):
Photosphere
-
Above that:
Chromosphere
-
Thin line above chromosphere:
Transition Zone
-
Outermost layer (spiky part):
Corona

✔ Correct Labels (Top to Bottom / Inside Out):
| Arrow Direction | Label |
|------------------|-------|
| Innermost circle |
Core |
| Next layer out |
Radiative Zone |
| Next layer |
Convection Zone |
| Surface layer |
Photosphere |
| Above surface |
Chromosphere |
| Thin layer above chromosphere |
Transition Zone |
| Outermost (spiky) |
Corona |

💡 Tips for Students:
- The
core is hottest (~15 million °C) and where fusion happens.
- The
photosphere is what we see as the "Sun’s surface".
- The
corona is much hotter than the surface and extends millions of km into space.

✔ Final Answer Summary (in order):
1. Core
2. Radiative Zone
3. Convection Zone
4. Photosphere
5. Chromosphere
6. Transition Zone
7. Corona
