Question

Why does the sun appear like a flattened disk at certain times ? Explain in detail.

Answer 1

Answer:

So, as air passes through layers of the atmosphere with different temperatures, it bends the light. ... If the sun is on, or just above the horizon, the light travels along a long path through the atmosphere. As the light passes through these different layers, it will refract and deform, flatten or distort the sun's disk.

Answer 2

Explanation:

As the light passes through these different layers, it will refract and deform, flatten or distort the sun's disk. Light rays coming from the top of the sun bend less than rays coming from the bottom, slightly squashing the sun's circular shape.
