For a few minutes before sunrise and for a few minutes after sunset we can see the sun - explain with proper reason. |
Answer» Solution :As the height above the earth.s SURFACE increases, the density of air decreases. Any ray coming obliquely from near the horizon gradually enters denser layers from later of air. So due to refraction, the ray bends towards the GROUND. This incident happens when the sun is below the horizon just after sunset and just before sunrise [FIG. 2.76]. If we see along the direction of the rays REACHING US, the sun appears raised in position in the sky above the horizon.
