When light refreacts it is slowing down,so the slower it travvels the longer we see it and the longer a day it is

How does refraction of light vary the length of the day?

The sky does not go from total darkness to day light at sunrise nor does in go from dayligh t to total darkness at the instant of sunset. Refraction of sunlight in the atmosphere gives a period of light at dawn and dusk which affects the length of the daylight hours.


Which explains why sky appears blue on a sunny day?

Due to refraction of light.


How do you use the word refract in a sentence?

How does the speed of light have to do with the length of the day?

The speed of light is constant and does not directly affect the length of the day. The length of a day is determined by the time it takes for the Earth to complete one full rotation on its axis, which is approximately 24 hours. This rotation period is independent of the speed of light.


Does length of day light affect roosters being fertile?

no


Why do distant objects ripple on a hot day?

Distance objects can be seen to "ripple" on a hot day because of refraction. As light from a distance object makes the trip to the observer, it passes through air of slightly varying densities. This causes it to "change course" to a degree, which is refraction. It is this thermally induced refraction that is responsible for the "ripple" we see, and for the mirage we sometimes hear about.


Does the length of day light change every 7 days?

How many hours of light are there in a day?

Why do you not normally see refraction when you look across a room?

Because light is only refracted when it passes into a more or less dense medium. As the density of air is reasonably constant, refraction is not easily observable in your average room, however on a very hot day, you can see refraction in the form of heat waves, as the hotter air is less dense than the cooler air.


Why does the length of day light changes from day to day as it revolve around the sun?
