Due to the atmospheric refraction, we can see the sun 2 minutes before and after actual sunrise and sunset. The rays of light emitted by the sun are refracted towards the ground while travelling through the optically rarer layers of air in the atmosphere; when the Sun is slightly below the horizon.
