Due to refraction of light in the air, the ray path of the setting sun is highly distorted beside the horizon making the clear-cut astronomical sunset happen when the sun’s disk is currently about one diameter below the horizon. Sunset should not be bewildered with dusk, which is the moment at which darkness falls, when the sun is about eighteen qualifications below the horizon. The time span between the astronomical sunset and dusk is called twilight.
