Atmospheric refraction is the deviation of light or other electromagnetic wave from a straight line as it passes through the atmosphere due to the variation in air density as a function of height. ... Astronomical or celestial refraction causes astronomical objects to appear higher above the horizon than they actually are.

Hello friend.....

Atmospheric refraction is the deviation of light or other electromagnetic wave from a straight line as it passes through the atmosphere due to the variation in air density as a function of height. This refraction is due to the velocity of light through air, decreasing with increased density.

Hope it helped u.....☺️☺️
