During sunrise, when the sun is just below the horizon, our atmosphere causes the light rays to bend and we see the sun early. Similarly, at sunset, the apparent position of the sun is visible to us and not the actual position due to the same bending of light rays effect.
To sum up, due to refraction we see the sun rise about two minutes before it’s actually there and during sunset we see it for around two minutes more, even though it has already moved from that position
