In planetary terms, a corona is an oval-shaped feature upon a planet's surface."Corona" means "crown" in Ancient Greek.A corona is found on the surface of planet Venus.Additionally:A corona is also found on Miranda, one of the moons of UranusThe "corona" is also used to describe the plasma atmosphere of the sun (you should know the sun is a star, not a planet)
The corona is the region of the sun from the surface to about 1 million kilometers into space. Temperatures in the corona can reach as high as two million degree Fahrenheit.

The corona.
The sun's corona is the hottest part of the sun apart from the core. It is about 2,000,000° at a distance of half a million miles from the surface.
The faint outer atmosphere of the sun is called the corona. It is visible during a total solar eclipse as a halo of light around the sun. The corona is much hotter than the surface of the sun and extends millions of kilometers into space.
The temperature of the sun's corona is around 1 to 3 million degrees Celsius.
It's a lot hotter
the visible surface of the sun
One interesting thing that has been found about the corona is that it's much hotter than the Sun's surface - while the Sun's surface has a temperature of about 6000 K, the corona has a temperature has a temperature around a million K. This obviously can't be caused by regular heat transfer; scientists are still researching exactly how the energy gets from the Sun to the corona.
The corona is the sun's outermost layer, which is only visible during a total solar eclipse when the moon covers the sun's surface. The corona is much dimmer than the sun's surface, making it visible only when the sun's bright photosphere is blocked.
The temperature of the sun's corona reaches at least one million degrees and possibly more. This is strange because the surface of the sun has temperatures of five thousand degrees. The corona is much farther away and logically should be cooler.
