The Chromosphere. Click on image for larger version. The chromosphere is an irregular layer above the photosphere where the temperature rises from 6000&degC to about 20,000&degC. At these higher temperatures hydrogen emits light that gives off a reddish color (H-alpha emission).
The lower part of the thermosphere, â from 80 to 550 kilometers (50 to 342 mi) â contains the ionosphere, which is so named because it is here in the atmosphere that particles are ionized by solar radiation.
