Why the stars seem higher than they actually are?

Answers

Answered by moinsayyad1432

Answer:

The stars seem to be higher in the sky than they actually are due to atmospheric refraction. As the light rays from a star pass through the different layers of atmosphere (density of layers increasing downwards), they suffer atmospheric refraction from a rarer to a denser medium.
