[edit] Below the horizon

Is twilight considered night? The sun is below the horizon, but light is refracted in the atmosphere, lighting up the earth. According to the definition of night at the top of the page, twilight would be night. However, on the section on duration, this refraction is given as a reason for longer days than nights, thus implying that twilight is day (or at least not night).Phantombantam 05:58, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
