Atmospheric Refraction
the refraction of light caused by the earth's atmosphere( having a layers of varying optical densities) is called atmospheric refraction.
• phenomenon in nature occur due to the atmospheric refraction of light
- twinkling of stars
- the star seem higher than they are actually are.
- advance sunrise and delayed sunset= we can see the sun about 2 minutes before the actual sunrise and 2 minutes after the actual sunset because of atmospheric refraction.
