Question

What is atmospheric refraction?

Answer 1

Answer:

The bending of light when it travels from one medium to another medium is known as the refraction of light.

Since earth atmosphere is very thick, with variation in the density with the height. So we can divide the atmosphere in different layers of different refractive index. When the sun rays passing through the atmosphere suffer refraction known as atmospheric refraction

Answer 2

The refraction of light caused by the earth's atmosphere is called atmospheric refraction.

When the sun rays passing through the atmosphere suffer refraction known as atmospheric refraction.

It is caused by the difference is the dinsities of air in the differnt layes of the atmosphere.

Atmospheric refraction is a change in the refractive index of light waves or rays due to differences in elevation in atmospheric density.
