The Sun is observed from the ground, from the stratosphere and from space. Although there are some observations that can only be done from space, e.g. in wavelengths such as the extreme ultraviolet that are absorbed in the Earth's atmosphere, and others that are currently possible only from the ground, e.g. the highest resolution observations with 4m diameter telescopes. However, there are a...
