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, both
interior and
atmospheric. Here’s how they are ordered from
innermost to outermost:
####
✔ Interior Layers (from center outward):
1.
Core – The central region where nuclear fusion occurs.
2.
Radiative Zone – Energy from the core travels outward via radiation.
3.
Convection Zone – Energy moves by convection currents (hot plasma rises, cool plasma sinks).
####
✔ Outer Layers (Atmosphere):
4.
Photosphere – The visible "surface" of the Sun; where sunlight is emitted.
5.
Chromosphere – A thin layer above the photosphere; visible during solar eclipses as a reddish glow.
6.
Transition Zone – A narrow region between chromosphere and corona where temperature rapidly increases.
7.
Corona – The outermost atmosphere; extremely hot and visible during total solar eclipses.

🧩 Now, Let's Match the Labels
Looking at your diagram:
- The
center (smallest circle) →
Core
- Next layer out →
Radiative Zone
- Then →
Convection Zone
- Then →
Photosphere (this is the visible surface)
- Above that →
Chromosphere
- Then →
Transition Zone
- Outermost layer (spiky yellow parts) →
Corona
> Note: The
corona extends far into space and appears as spiky rays in diagrams.

✔ Final Answer: Labeling from Inside Out
Using the
word bank:
-
Core – innermost
-
Radiative zone – next
-
Convection zone – then
-
Photosphere – visible surface
-
Chromosphere – just above
-
Transition zone – thin layer above chromosphere
-
Corona – outermost, spiky layer

🖋️ How to Fill In the Diagram
Assuming the lines point to the following areas:
1.
Innermost circle →
Core
2.
Next ring outward →
Radiative zone
3.
Next ring →
Convection zone
4.
Thin layer just below the surface →
Photosphere
5.
Layer above photosphere →
Chromosphere
6.
Thin line above chromosphere →
Transition zone
7.
Outermost spiky part →
Corona

✔ Completed Labeling (From Inside to Outside):
| Layer Position | Label |
|----------------|-------|
| Center | Core |
| 2nd layer | Radiative zone |
| 3rd layer | Convection zone |
| Surface | Photosphere |
| Just above | Chromosphere |
| Thin layer above | Transition zone |
| Outer spikes | Corona |

💡 Tip for Students:
Remember the acronym:
Core →
Radiative →
Convection →
Photosphere →
Chromosphere →
Transition →
Corona
Or think:
"Core, Radiative, Convection, Photosphere, Chromosphere, Transition, Corona"
