MCQ
Why sun has elliptical shape on the time when rising and sun setting $?$ It is due to
- ✓Refraction
- BReflection
- CScattering
- DDispersion
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
Refraction
a
(a) In the morning or evening, the sun is at the horizon and refractive index in the atmosphere of the earth decreases with height.
(a) In the morning or evening, the sun is at the horizon and refractive index in the atmosphere of the earth decreases with height.
Due to this, the light reaching the earth's atmosphere, bends unequally, and the image of the sun get's distorted and it appears elliptical and larger.
