Q 7. On a clear day, the sky appears to be more blue towards the zenith (overhead) than it does toward the horizon. This occurs because:
the atmosphere is denser higher up than it is at the earth's surface.
the temperature of the upper atmosphere is higher than it is at the earth's surface.
the sunlight travels over a longer path at the horizon, resulting in more absorption.
none of the above is true.

only angular spread takes place
only angular deviation takes place
both angular deviation and angular spread take place

Q 9. Stars appear to be higher in the sky than actually they are because of
atmospheric reflection
atmospheric refraction
scattering of light
