No. It's an example of the result of refraction ... curving of light on its way
through the atmosphere, not necessarily requiring any reflection.

Example of total internal reflection?
rainbow rainbow is not example of tir bec. glory is an optical phenomenon produced by light backscattered (a combination of w:diffraction, reflection and w:refraction) towards its source by a cloud of uniformly-sized water droplets.
What name is given to the angle where total internal reflection occurs?
Total internal reflection occurs when the angle of incidence with respect to the normal at the boundary to a less dense medium exceeds the critical angle.

periscope is an example of total internal reflection.
Caused by light refraction in the atmosphere?
Mirage is a good example which is seen due to refraction of light and especially due to total internal reflection. ============================ A semi-opposing opinion: No reflection is required for the creation of a mirage, only refraction. ============================= Hope you might have heard about the conditions for total internal relection to take place. 1) Ray has to traverse from denser to rarer 2) the angle of incidence is to be more than critical angle of the denser medium So in such a case the refraction phenomenon cannot take place and so all the energy to be refracted is sent back to the denser medium itself. Hence named as total internal reflection. Of course total internal reflection is totally different from ordinary reflection.
