Question

What do you mean by atmospheric refraction?

Answer 1

Answer:

The refraction of light by the Earth’s atmosphere is known as atmospheric refraction. The earth’s atmosphere is not evenly distributed and is optically denser at the bottom while is rarer at the top. The velocity of light changes from layer to layer. The molecules of different gases and dust particles have different optical densities. When an object transmits light rays in the atmosphere, these light rays pass through the atmosphere having different air layers of different densities and get refracted by the atmosphere.

★ ATMOSPHERIC REFRACTION ★

atmosphere is like a vast envelope of airall morning above the earth's surface the optical densities of the earth decrease this is because the upper layer of the atmosphere are more composed to lower layer does the atmosphere has different optical densities

when a Ray of light passes through the atmosphere we get multiple refracted rays of light the phenomena bending of light ray on passing line earth atmosphere is known as atmospheric refraction
