Stellar atmosphere

A cutaway or cross-sectional view of a star’s outer atmosphere shown as a thin luminous gaseous shell hugging the curved stellar limb above a brighter stellar surface. The atmosphere appears semi-transparent and stratified, with one or several soft concentric curved bands following the star’s curvature. It is brightest and densest along the inner boundary near the stellar surface, then gradually fades outward into diffuse fuzzy edges with subtle wispy texture. Colors range from pale yellow-white and cream to yellow, pale gold, light orange, and orange-gold, emphasizing a hot glowing layered envelope rather than a solid surface. Style: clean scientific clipart, soft gradients, minimal linework, subtle wispy texture.
