Question

Where can you find the answer to this question?
Solar Energy is released from the photosphere of the sun. What part is the photosphere?
Also do you know the answer?

Answer 1

The sun's photoshphere is just below the solar corona (the sun's atmosphere). It extends from the region where our sunlight comes from into the sun to the point where the surface becomes too thick to see through. The BOTTOM of the photosphere is the surface of the sun, but the entire photoshpere is a region (it helps to read the article you are going to quote).

According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosphere
"The photosphere of an astronomical object is the region from which externally received light comes. It extends into a star's surface until the gas becomes opaque, equivalent to an "optical depth" (the distance at which the light is diminished by a power of e) of 2 or 3. In other words, the photosphere is the region where an object stops being transparent to ordinary light. The effective temperature of the photosphere corresponds to the position where the optical depth becomes 2/3 for a photon of wavelength equal to 500 nanometres, since the total amount of energy emitted by the star is equal to the energy emitted by a gas at that radius. Because stars have no solid surface, the photosphere is typically used to describe the Sun or another star's visual surface. The term itself is derived from Ancient Greek roots, φως¨- φωτος/photos meaning "light" and σφαιρος/sphairos meaning "ball," in reference to the fact that it is a ball-shaped surface perceived to emit light.

The Sun's photosphere has an effective temperature of about 5778 Kelvins and a density of about 2×10-4 kg m-3; other stars may have hotter or cooler photospheres. The Sun's photosphere is composed of convection cells called granules—cells of gas each approximately 1000 kilometres in diameter with hot rising gas in the center and cooler gases falling in the narrow spaces between them. Each granule has a lifespan of only about eight minutes, resulting in a continually shifting "boiling" pattern. Grouping the typical granules are supergranules up to 30,000 kilometres in diameter with lifespans of up to 24 hours. These details are too fine to see on other stars."

Answer 2

The photosphere of the Sun is. A) the visible "surface" of the Sun

Answer 3

the photosphere is the surface of the sun

wikipedia can be a great friend in times of need :)
