During the last few minutes of sunset and the first few minutes
of sunrise, if you were able to draw a line between you and the
Sun, that line would pass through the Earth, meaning that you do
not have direct line of sight. Another way of saying this is that
the Sun is physically below the horizon. However, you
are able to see the Sun during these
times due to atmospheric refraction. Give as detailed an
explanation as you can of how this occurs.
Thank you!
