Why sun appears oval at sunrise and sunset but appears circular at noon?

At sunrise and sunset the sun is near the horizon. The rays of light from upper & lower part of the periphery of the sun bend unequally on travelling through earth's atmosphere. That is why sun appear oval or flattened at sunrise and sunset. At noon sun is overhead. The rays of light from the sun enter earth's atmosphere normally. Therefore they suffer no refraction or bending on passing through. Hence the sun appears circular at noon.

What is atmospheric refraction of sunrise and sunset?

Atmospheric refraction is the bending of light as it passes through the Earth's atmosphere. During sunrise and sunset, the Sun appears to be slightly above the horizon when it is actually below it due to this effect. This bending causes the Sun to be visible a few minutes before it physically rises and a few minutes after it physically sets.

What the sunset indicates about pollution?

The sunset itself tells us absolutely nothing about pollution levels. However, because the light from the sun during sunset is bent at an angle moreso, than throughout the day, you may be able to see pollutants (smog, particles, etc) more easily.One of the best ways to see Smog is during sunset as it looks like a thick film covering the lower stratosphere.


The sky appears blue due to the light reflected from the oceans True or False?

FALSE!Sunlight appears to be white to the human eye but is actually a mix of all the colors in the rainbow. The blue and violet part of the spectrum has shorter wavelengths than the red and orange part. Shorter wavelength blue and violet light is scattered more strongly than red and orange light. When you look at the sky, you see the light that was redirected by the atmosphere into your line or sight. Since blue and violet is scattered more efficiently that red and orange light, the sky appears blue. When viewing a sunrise or sunset, you see only light that has not been scattered in other directions. The red and orange part of sunlight travels through a maximum length of the atmosphere, so a sunrise and sunset appears to be more orange and reddish.
