Chromosphere

Real World Example

Imagine trying to find the perfect temperature for your shower, where the water isn't too hot or too cold. Just like this delicate task of adjusting the shower temperature to that comfortable middle point, the chromosphere is the middle layer of the Sun's atmosphere that balances between the cooler photosphere below and the hotter corona above. The shower's hot and cold water knobs represent the layers of the Sun's atmosphere, with the chromosphere being that sweet spot in the middle where everything comes together just right, creating a transitional layer that connects the extremes.
