About This Product
Teachers identify the core as the energy-producing region, point to the radiative and convective zones as heat-transfer regions, show the photosphere as the visible surface and explain the chromosphere and corona as outer atmospheric layers. Students then label each layer, linking textbook diagrams with a physical model in astronomy, geography and physics lessons. The Sun Structure Model is available for supply within India and for export to Samoa, Fiji, New Zealand, Libya and Armenia.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Which layer is the visible surface of the Sun? The photosphere is shown as the visible surface. The chromosphere and corona above it are presented as outer atmospheric layers.
