Sun Structure and Atmosphere Overview
The Sun corona is the outer atmosphere visible during total eclipses, rising up to 6,000 miles above the photosphere. Fraunhofer lines form here, while the visible surface is the innermost layer about 340 miles thick at 10,000 F. The convection zone ends 137 miles below the surface with violent gas movement. the radiative zone contains dense gases at 4,500,000 F. The core harbors nuclear reactions producing the Sun’s energy at 27,000,000 F.

Suture evidence links Florida Georgia to North America 290 million years ago
Cornell University researchers using artificial earthquakes mapped a deep geologic suture marking where Florida and southern Georgia welded to North America during continent collision. Seismic profiles from Dunellon Florida to De Soto Georgia identify a zone with a triangular cross section near the Moho, suggesting a precise buried link now separating from the African-North American merge.
