Taden has found a table of the atmospheric layers of the Sun. However, he can't make out the names of the layers in the chart.

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|}
\hline & \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{ A } & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{ B } & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{ C } \\
\hline Position & Lowest & Middle & Outermost \\
\hline Thickness & 100 km & 2000 km & Millions of kilometers \\
\hline Temperature & 5,500 & 6,000 to 20,000 & [tex]$2,000,000$[/tex] \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

What are the names of the Sun's layers described in columns [tex]$A$[/tex], [tex]$B$[/tex], and [tex]$C$[/tex]?

A. Corona; B. Photosphere; C. Chromosphere

B. Core; B. Chromosphere; C. Photosphere

C. Chromosphere; B. Corona; C. Core

D. Photosphere; B. Chromosphere; C. Corona

Of course! Let's carefully analyze the information given to understand the names of the layers of the Sun correctly.

Given table information:

1. Position:
- Column A: Lowest
- Column B: Middle
- Column C: Outermost

2. Thickness:
- Column A: 100 km
- Column B: 2000 km
- Column C: Millions of kilometers

3. Temperature:
- Column A: 5,500 K
- Column B: 6,000 to 20,000 K
- Column C: 2,000,000 K

To provide the correct answer based on the data:

- The Photosphere is the Sun's lowest atmospheric layer. It has a thickness of approximately 100 km and an average temperature of around 5,500 K.

- The Chromosphere is the middle atmospheric layer. It extends up to 2000 km from the photosphere and has temperatures ranging from about 6,000 K to 20,000 K.

- The Corona is the outermost atmospheric layer. It spans millions of kilometers and can reach temperatures of around 2,000,000 K.

Based on this analysis:

For Column A (Lowest position, 100 km thickness, 5,500 K temperature):
- This layer is the Photosphere.

For Column B (Middle position, 2000 km thickness, 6,000 to 20,000 K temperature):
- This layer is the Chromosphere.

For Column C (Outermost position, millions of kilometers thickness, 2,000,000 K temperature):
- This layer is the Corona.

Therefore, the correct answer for the table data is:
A: Photosphere; B: Chromosphere; C: Corona.

Hence, the answer to the question is:
A: Photosphere; B: Chromosphere; C: Corona (Option 4).
