A false sunrise is any of several atmospheric optical phenomena in which the Sun appears to have already risen while it remains some distance below the horizon. Various atmospheric conditions can bend sunlight so that it reaches an observer's eye as though coming directly from the Sun, producing a glow that can resemble the true sunrise.
