Question

the sky appears lightly higher
than ith actual position on
the sky?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

When the light from a star depends on the earth's surface, it passes through the different layers of the atmosphere. Complete answer: A star appears slightly higher than it's actual position in the sky because of the atmospheric refraction, the star seems to be higher in the sky than the actual position.

Answer 2

answer and explanation: The atmospheric refraction occurs in a medium of gradually changing refractive index. Since the atmosphere bends starlight towards the normal, the apparent position of the star is slightly different from its actual position. Since the stars are very distant, they approximate point-sized sources of light.
