\huge\mathrm{Answer:-}

  • Atmospheric refraction is the DEVIATION of light or other electromagnetic wave from a straight LINE as it passes through the atmosphere due to the variation in air density as a function of HEIGHT.
  • Astronomical or celestial refraction causes astronomical objects to appear higher above the HORIZON than they actually are.
