A morning or evening shadow is longer than a noonshadow because the sun is on an angle and a noon shadow is shorter because the sun is directly above us. It can also depend on the time of year too.

So now observer interprets the periphery along the direction of final refracted ray. This final refracted ray produces the image slightly above of real periphery. Due to this we always see virtual periphery around the sun. It happens only due to atmospheric refraction which allow then bending of light most at side of horizon only.

How do they photograph things to make them look bigger?
The only way that we can judge the size of an object in a photograph is to compare it to other objects in the same photograph. Therefore, you can combine two or more photographs, with different enlargements, to create the illusion that some object is larger than it really is. Or you can build small models that look like something bigger than they really are. Or you can use tricks of perspective to make something look closer than it really is.
