Africa Wild

Though still visible, the sun might be geometrically below the horizon, otherwise this quizzie would not be fun, I guess

Explain in more detail Toko.

because it is far North... can't disappear

More or less the same the World over Nan.

Is it fair to copy the answer off the Internet , or do I have to actually know the answer myself?

My answering explanation will be off the internet ExFmem, so either way will be acceptable.

maybe I can't understand the question
so waiting for the reply

This is because of the refraction of the light from the Sun by the Earth's atmosphere--the Earth's atmosphere bends the path of the light so that we see the Sun in a position slightly different from where it really is. The magnitude of this effect varies with latitude, but it's strongest at the equator, where the Sun rises 2 minutes earlier than it would if the Earth had no atmosphere, and sets 2 minutes after it would if the Earth had no atmosphere.
