Atmospheric refraction bends some of the sunlight "over the horizon" so that some of the disc can be seen, even when it should no longer be visible by line of sight. The same optical effect allows you to see ships while they are not yet close enough to land, and can create a "mirage" in the desert while an oasis is many miles farther away.

What area on the earth has seen the sun once and will never see it again?
The area on Earth that has seen the sun once and will never see it again is the location of the North and South Poles. Due to the tilt of the Earth's axis, regions within the Arctic and Antarctic Circles experience polar day (midnight sun) and polar night. When the sun sets at these poles during the winter months, it will not rise again for several months, making it a unique phenomenon of perpetual darkness. Once the sun sets at the poles during this time, that specific moment will never occur again.
What phase will you never see during daytime after sunrise and before sunset?
The Full Moon is opposite the Sun in the sky and therefore it rises as the Sun sets and sets as the Sun rises. (Actually, near the Earth's poles in summer, you can see the Full Moon during daylight.) You can never see the New Moon either because it is in line with the Sun and hidden by glare. (You can see the New Moon in the daytime, but only when there is a solar eclipse.)
