The photosphere is currently considered to be a hot gaseous plasma. However, ample evidence exists that the photosphere is in fact condensed matter. The primary evidence is based on the Planckian appearance of the solar spectrum. The existence of such a spectrum directly implies the presence of a lattice (i.e. condensed matter). In fact, it is impossible for a gaseous structure to ever produce a Planckian spectrum outside the confines of Kirchhoff's perfectly absorbing enclosure. Therefore, the photosphere and interior of the Sun simply cannot be made of gaseous plasma. In addition, in this talk, the flow of material on the surface of the Sun and in the corona will be reviewed. Specifically, it will be highlighted that in the corona, matter moves primarily in a radial direction. However, within the photosphere, solar matter is displaced across the solar disk as manifested by sunspots and other solar activity. As a result, there is a clear phase transition at the photosphere which is revealed by the motion of matter itself. Other evidence supporting a photosphere comprised of condensed matter will also be discussed.
