Why does the sun appear flattened during sun rise and sun set?
Answers
Answer:
It is due to the refraction of sunlight as it travels through Earth's atmosphere. Refraction is the change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another or from a gradual change in the medium. Refraction of light by these layers can make the sun appear flattened or distorted. Objects closer to the horizon are raised upwards most and the lower limb of the Sun is raised more than the top making it appear oval.
