Atmospheric refraction causes sunlight to bend as it passes through Earth's atmosphere. This phenomenon makes the sun appear to rise earlier and distorts its shape into an oval or flattened form at the horizon due to differential refraction. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and (R) provides a correct explanation for (A).
