Sun's light is so much intense which can not be seen directly or photographed digitally as the sensor will be damaged
Dear Satish,
The sun is observed by an instrument called solar telescope which is supplied by optical filters such that one can observe the image of the surface of the sun by the eyes: https://www.skyandtelescope.com/astronomy-news/how-to-look-at-the-sun/
Best wishes

My wife uses a nifty device called SunSpotter when teaching astronomy classes. Cool little device for when you absolutely must have a live image for the wow factor.
Here is a photo of a SunSpottertaken by my wife, Gilma Adunas when the last solar eclipse passed our way.
The solar atmosphere consists of three layers Photosphere, Chromosphere, and Corona, we always can observe photosphere, while can observe Chromosphere and corona during total solar eclipse only. To can observe the details of solar photosphere you need a solar telescope and solar filter with a digital camera, if you need to observe solar chromosphere you must use H-Alpha filter.
