the core The first three zones are regarded as the suns atmosphereBut since the sun has no solid surface,it is hard to tell where the atmosphere ends and the main body of the sun beginsThe suns outermost layer begins about 10000 miles above the visible surface and goes outward for mllions of milesThis is the only part of the sun that can be seen during an eclipse（日食）such as the one in February 1979At any other time,the corona can be seen only when special instruments are used on cameras and telescopes to shut out the glare of the suns raysThe corona is a brilliant,pearly white,filmy light,about as bright as the full moon Its beautiful rays are a sensational sight during an eclipseThe coronas rays flash out in a brilliant fan that has wispy spikelike（一束束穗状）rays near the suns north and south polesThe corona is thickest at the suns equatorThe corona rays are made up of gases streaming outward at tremendous speeds sad reaching a temperature of more than 2 million degrees Fahrenheit The rays of gas thin out as they reach the space around the planetsBy the time the suns corona rays reach the Earth,they are weak and invisible65Matter on the aim can exist only in
