Atmospheric  refraction  is  the  phenomenon  of  bending  of  light  on  passing  through  the Earth’s atmosphere.  The reason for  this  occurrence is that  the  upper  layers  of  the Earth’s atmosphere are rarer compared to the lower layers.

                    On account of atmospheric refraction of light,

 

  1. The stars seem higher than they actually are.
  2. The Sun appears to rise 2 minutes before and set 2 minutes later, increasing the apparent length of the day by 4 minutes.
  3. The Sun appears oval at sunrise and sunset, but appears circular at noon.
  4. The stars twinkle and planets do not.
