Question

What is the reason of apparent flattering of Sun's disc at sunrise and sunset?​

Answer 1

Apparent flattening of the sun's disc at sunrise and sunset is due to atmospheric refraction. The density and the refractive index of the atmosphere decreases with altitude, so the rays above and below the sun on the horizon are refracted by different degrees. This causes the apparent flattening of the sun.
