Explanation:

During a total solar eclipse, the chromosphere (the red - colored layer) and the corona (the faint white - looking outer atmosphere) of the Sun are visible. The chromosphere gets its red color from hydrogen emissions. The corona is the Sun's outer atmosphere that is usually outshone by the bright photosphere but becomes visible during an eclipse.
