38. Atmosphere has different optical density at different layers because of which the sunlight entering the
atmosphere undergoes a series of reflections before it reaches the earth's surface. It is this atmospheric
refraction that gives us the impression that the sun rises early in the morning than it actually rises and
sets delay than it actually sets. Similar is the case for the light emitted by a distant star while reaching
the Earth's surface. This gives us the thought that actual position of the star is different than the position
that it appears to be, when from the earth.

ii)`what is the effi of atmosphoric refrecticn or sneed of light?
