Answer 2

Which of the following is not caused by the atmospheric refraction of light?

(a) the twinkling of stars at night

(b) the sun appearing higher in the sky than it is

(c) sun becoming visible two minutes before actual sunrise

(d) the sun appears red at sunset

Option (D) is the correct answer.

• The sun appears red at sunset not due to the atmospheric refraction of light but due to the scattering effect of light.
• The twinkling of stars and difference in the size of the Sunrise due to atmospheric refraction of light. Likewise, refraction is also accountable for the sun to glance during sunset and sunrise. It is also accountable for the sun coming two or three minutes before actual sunrise. The sun seems higher or lower in the sky due to the altering position of the earth relative to the sun.

Hence, option (D) is the correct answer.
