HEY....!☺☺
Buddy this is due to the Slant horizon of EARTH....
earth is not straight it is spherical.. (not exactly) thats why sun seems to rise or sets on earths surface..
also there is a role of wavelength of colours .... plz check the role of wavelength from google...
I HOPE YOU WILL MARK IT BRAINLIEST.....☺✌☺✌☺✌☺

Hey friend Here is Your Answer...
The sun appears flat when near the horizon on account of refraction of light. The atmosphere is made up of different layers of air each having a slightly different refractive index. This change in refractive index with layers causes uneven bending of sunlight. This bending causes the light coming from top layers to bend less then light coming from bottom layers of the atmosphere. This gives sun an apparent deformed, flattened look.
