Relating to or describing the colorful outer layer of the sun visible during a solar eclipse.
From 'chromatosphere' plus the adjectival suffix '-ic,' following the pattern of words like 'atmospheric' or 'photospheric' to describe properties of spherical layers.
Studying chromatospheric emissions has taught us that the sun's visible colored layers are much cooler than the sun's core but somehow hotter than the surface—a paradox that physicists are still working to fully understand.
