The temperature distribution in a star decreases monotonically from the nuclear burning core to the top of its photosphere as heat leaks out into cold space. However, the hottest region of a star can be its outermost layer, the corona with temperatures of \(10^6\) to \(10^7\) K or even hotter.

摘要

The temperature distribution in a star decreases monotonically from the nuclear burning core to the top of its photosphere as heat leaks out into cold space. However, the hottest region of a star can be its outermost layer, the corona with temperatures of \(10^6\) to \(10^7\) K or even hotter.
