The 25 pages that link to Atmospheric refraction, each with the reason it gives.

• Polar nightRelated: Refraction shifts the Sun’s apparent position near the horizon and affects the exact limits of polar night.

• OccultationRelated: Starlight bent through an occulting body's atmosphere can reveal its temperature and pressure structure.

• HorizonRelated: Refraction shifts the apparent horizon and lets the Sun remain visible near or just below it.

• Lunar eclipseRelated: Refraction redirects some sunlight into Earth’s umbra and onto the eclipsed Moon.

• TwilightRelated: It makes the Sun appear slightly higher than its geometric position near the horizon.

• Day lengthRelated: It makes the Sun appear above the horizon when its geometric position is slightly below it.

• SunriseRelated: It makes the Sun appear above the horizon before its geometric position clears it.

• SunsetRelated: Refraction makes the Sun appear slightly higher than its geometric position near the horizon.

• Altitude (astronomy)Related: Refraction shifts a celestial object's apparent altitude, especially near the horizon.

• Spherical astronomyRelated: Observed altitudes must be corrected for this departure from ideal spherical geometry.

• Atmospheric opticsRelated: It shifts the apparent positions of celestial objects and creates horizon distortions.

• Great Trigonometrical SurveyRelated: Refraction altered long-distance observations and required correction.

• June solsticeRelated: It makes the Sun appear above the horizon when it is geometrically below it.

• Star chartRelated: Near the horizon, refraction shifts apparent positions from charted positions.

• Horizontal coordinate systemRelated: It makes observed altitudes, especially near the horizon, differ from geometric altitudes.

• Polar alignmentRelated: Near the horizon, refraction shifts the apparent pole-star position and can affect precise alignment.

• Barometric formulaRelated: Pressure profiles help determine the density gradient that bends light in the atmosphere.

• Earth’s shadowRelated: Refracted sunlight reaches the umbra and gives the eclipsed Moon a dim reddish glow.

• Sun dogRelated: Refraction through ice crystals redirects sunlight into the bright patches.

• DaytimeRelated: Refraction lets the Sun remain visible briefly when its geometric position is below the horizon.

• Belt of VenusRelated: It affects the paths of sunlight reaching the atmosphere near the horizon.
