Photosphere

about

The photosphere is a star's outer shell from which light is radiated.

The term itself is derived from Ancient Greek roots, φῶς, φωτός/phos, photos meaning "light" and σφαῖρα/sphaira meaning "sphere", in reference to it being a spherical surface that is perceived to emit light. It extends into a star's surface until the plasma becomes opaque, equivalent to an optical depth of approximately 2⁄3 or equivalently, a depth from which 50% of light will escape without being scattered.

A photosphere is the deepest region of a luminous object, usually a star, that is transparent to photons of certain wavelengths.
