Answer:
Atmospheric refraction, change in the direction of propagation of electromagnetic radiation or sound waves in traversing the atmosphere. Such changes are caused by gradients in the density of the air. See refraction. Refraction, in physics, the change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another caused by its change in speed.

Atmospheric refraction is the deviation of light or other electromagnetic wave from a straight line as it passes through the atmosphere due to the variation in air density as a function of height. This refraction is due to the velocity of light through air, decreasing with increased density.
