Answer:

The Stars Seem Higher Than They Actually Are

Light from a star is refracted (bent) as it leaves space (a vacuum) and enters the earth's atmosphere. So, as the light from a star comes down, the dense air bends the light more. Due to this refraction of star's light, the star appears to be at a higher position.
