Detailed Solution

The time difference between actual sunset and apparent sunset is 2 min.
The refraction phenomenon is the bending of light when it passes from one medium to another. The speed of light through the atmosphere is slightly different and slow than that of a vacuum. Due to refraction, there is some difference between the speeds of light in more dense air and less dense air. Due to the atmospheric refraction, the time difference between actual sunset and apparent sunset is 2 min.
