The innermost layer of the sun is the core. With a density of 160 g/cm^3, 10 times that of lead, the core might be expected to be solid. However, the core's temperature of 15 million kelvins (27 million degrees Fahrenheit) keeps it in a gaseous state
Whereas the surface can vary from 5500ºC to 6000ºC

The temperature of the Sun's layers varies. The core temperature is around 15 million degrees Celsius, while the outer layer, called the photosphere, is around 5,500 degrees Celsius. The temperature increases again in the outer atmosphere, reaching millions of degrees in the corona.
The layers of the sun, from the center outward, are the core, the radiative zone, the convective zone, the photosphere, the chromosphere, and the corona.
No, the temperature in the layers of the sun's atmosphere is not evenly distributed. The temperature increases with height, transitioning from cooler regions like the photosphere to hotter regions like the corona. This temperature variation is due to the way energy is transported and distributed through the layers of the sun.
Temperature is the property used to distinguish the layers of the atmosphere
The temperature of the sun's surface is around 5,500 degrees Celsius, while the core temperature reaches about 15 million degrees Celsius.
The three layers of the Sun's atmosphere are the photosphere, the chromosphere, and the corona. The photosphere is the visible surface where sunspots are found. The chromosphere is a thin layer above the photosphere where solar flares occur. The corona is the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere, extending millions of kilometers into space.
