La chromosphère tire son nom de sa couleur rouge, visible lors des éclipses totales autour du disque solaire occulté par la Lune. C'est la couche située juste au-dessus de la photosphère. Son épaisseur moyenne est de quelques milliers de km, mais elle est très variable localement, car elle subit les fantaisies du champ magnétique solaire qui la sculpte en différentes structures: fibrilles, spicules, protubérances, filaments. 3, record 1, French, - chromosph%C3%A8re
