The bending of the light when it passes from one medium to another, like water to air, or one layer of air to another, is called refraction. Refraction is what makes a straw look bent when you put it in a glass of water.
The apparent position is its position as seen by a theoretical observer at thecentre of the moving Earth. Several effects cause the apparent position to differ from the mean position: Annual aberration — a deflection caused by the velocity of the Earth's motion around the Sun, relative to an inertial frame.

Due to atmospheric refraction...the stars seems to higher in the sky than they actually are.as the light from the star comes down the denser air bends the light more. It seems to higher in the sky. Pls mark as brainlinest
