Heating and dynamics of the solar as well as stellar chromospheres are separate phenomena, judging by their spatial and temporal characteristics in the Sun. Simulations of chromospheric heating in late-type stars as well as simulations of the dynamics of the large-amplitude oscillations of internetwork calcium bright points in the solar atmosphere reproduce the main features of the respective phenomena. Differences between models and observations imply (1) that the Sun has a permanent, hot chromosphere and that its temperature structure cannot be obtained by averaging the time-dependent temperature profile of a model that describes only the oscillations, and (2) that the acoustic waves causing the dynamics and the heating propagate upward as spherical waves.
