Atmospheric refraction
वायुमंडलीय अपवर्तन
In this Class 10 Science topic from “The Human Eye and the Colourful World,” students learn how Earth’s atmosphere bends light as it passes through layers of air with different densities. The topic explains familiar effects such as the twinkling of stars, the apparent shifting of stars from their actual positions, and the advanced sunrise and delayed sunset. It also connects atmospheric refraction with the changing path of light observed near the horizon.
