The time difference between actual sunset and apparent sunset is caused by atmospheric refraction. Sunlight bends as it passes through the Earth’s atmosphere because the density of the atmosphere increases towards the Earth’s surface.
This refraction causes the sun’s rays to bend downwards, making the sun appear higher in the sky than its actual position. Near the horizon, this effect is most pronounced. As a result, the sun appears to rise earlier in the morning (apparent sunrise before actual sunrise) and set later in the evening (apparent sunset after actual sunset).
The apparent flattening of the sun’s disc near the horizon is also a result of atmospheric refraction. The time difference between actual and apparent sunrise or sunset is typically about 2 minutes. This phenomenon effectively increases the duration of daylight by about 4 minutes each day (2 minutes in the morning and 2 minutes in the evening).

Cell organelles in eukaryotic cells are often enclosed by membranes. The question asks which of the listed organelles is not lined by a membrane.
– Lysosome: Lined by a single membrane.
– Ribosome: Composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins, not enclosed by a membrane.
– Nucleus: Enclosed by a double membrane (the nuclear envelope).
– Golgi Apparatus: Composed of membrane-bound sacs (cisternae), lined by a single membrane.
Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis and are found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells (though they differ in size/structure). Their lack of a membrane is a key structural feature that distinguishes them from many other organelles in eukaryotic cells. Other non-membrane-bound structures in eukaryotic cells include the nucleolus, centrioles, and components of the cytoskeleton.
