At the time of sunset the sun appears to be at an altitude higher than its actual position. This is because of
- A Absorption of light
- B Reflection of light
- C Refraction of light
- D Dispersion of light
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Refraction of light
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
As sunlight enters the Earth's atmosphere, it passes through layers of air with increasing density, causing the light to bend toward the surface. This atmospheric refraction curves the light's path, making the sun appear higher on the horizon than it actually is. C) Refraction…
