Scientific paper

An analytical theory of refraction for the atmospheric layer is developed in which the vertical profiles of the refraction are calculated based on the theory of Monin and Obukhov (1954). A similarity parameter is found for the refraction in such conditions. These results are used to clarify the idea of Moroz (1976) that the nearness of the horizon as recorded by the automatic stations on the surface of Venus can be explained by the decrease in the temperature at the very surface of the planet. In addition, several other optical phenomena which occur near the surface of the earth are examined.
