Why is there advance sunrise and delayed sunset
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 7 years, 11 months ago

Sun can be seen about two minutes before actual sunrise because of  refraction of sunlight through the atmosphere. When the sun is just  below the horizon, sunlight enters the earth's atmosphere obliquely and  gets refracted through the different layers of the atmosphere. As a  result of this, sunlight gets bent and reaches the eyes of an observer.  Following the path of the light rays entering the eyes, the observer  sees the sun slightly above its actual position. As a result of this,  sun can be seen about two minutes before the actual sunrise.
