Why does sun seem to appear two minutes before actual sunrise?
Harinikrishna
the sun is visible to us about 2 minutes before the sunrise & about 2 minutes after actual sunset because of atmospheric refraction.By actual sunrise, we mean the actual crossing of the horizon by the sun. The time difference between actual sunset & the apparent sunset is about 2 minutes. The apparent flattening of the sun"s disc at sunrise & sunset is also due to the same phenomenon .

Is lightning a closed circuit?
When a lightning strike occurs, it has closed it's circuit, much like a light switch. Once the contacts in the light switch get close enough to cause current to flow, an arc occurs, all the way until actual contact is made. I maintain that the path of a lightning strike is preprogrammed, just before the actual strike occurs. The ground potential and the charge in the skies potential, feel each other and build up the power/potential to reach each other on the established sensed path. An actual strike occurs by part of the strike rising from the ground and the other part of the strike coming out of the sky, the meeting of the two culminating in the clap/boom noise heard when they meet. The lightning is a closed circuit as soon as the potential meeting of both ground and sky charges are sensed and before the actual strike appears in the sky.
How does refraction help in spearfishing?
It doesn't help at all. It makes it more difficult, because if you're out in the air, then underwater objects are not in the direction they appear to be. You must make a correction before you loose your spear, and aim it at a place where the fish appears not to be.
How long does it take for a lava lamp to heat up?
It takes about 30-40 minutes before the wax inside the lamp is 'oozing' and flowing. After about 10 minutes, the wax will erupt from the bottom in a kind of stalagmite formation, which will then break up and sink to the bottom as it melts into liquid. Then the bubbles will start to rise and fall. The longer you leave the lamp on, the smaller the bubbles will be.
