Heya !!
The Earth's atmosphere is not uniform throughout, its density goes on changing as we move up or down. It can be considered to be consisted of layers of different densities, which act as rarer or denser medium with respect to each other. The refraction of light due to these layers is called atmospheric refraction.
Due to the atmospheric refraction, stars appear to twinkle during night, the star seems higher than the actual position, there is an advanced sunrise and delayed sunset.
Hope this helps u dear friend .
