这个光谱中的光线，向四面八方离开太阳，由于地球引力弯曲导致本该从地球旁边经过的光线弯向地球的中心。
We have explained this being due to light in the red spectrum bending readily, so red light is bent first over the horizon by the gravity of Earth where light in the other spectrums is not so bend.
我们解释过这是由于红色光谱更容易弯曲，所以当其他光线还没怎么样时，红光首先由于地球的引力而沿着地球的曲线弯曲。
When sunlight is bent by refraction, it separates into different colors, just like light through a prism.
当阳光因折射产生弯曲，它就会被分成不同的颜色，就像光穿过三棱镜时一样。
Just as light passing through the atmosphere becomes bent and distorted, so too does light passing through the front part of the eye.
正如光线通过大气层时会发生畸变一样，光线通过眼的前部时也会走形。
Time and space are important for relativity study in physics. In matter space exists a gravitational field, owning to which time is varied, space is bent, and light trace is changed.
时间和空间是相对论研究的重要物理问题，在物质的空间中，存在引力场，而由于引力场的存在，则会导致时间的变化，空间的弯曲，光线轨迹的改变等。
