Which was not present freely in the early atmosphere of the earth?

When the sun is either rising or setting and appears to be just in the horizon, it is in fact below the horizon. The explanation for this seeming paradox is that light from the sun bends slightly when entering the earth's atmosphere as shown in figure. Assume that the atmosphere has uniform density and hence uniform index of refraction n and extends to a height h above the earth's surface, at which point is abruptly stop. The angle delta above the Sun's true position is given by

Statemet-1: the electrical conductivity of earth's atmosphere increases with altitude. Statement -2: The high energy particles (i.e., gamma - rays and cosmic rays) coming from outer space while entering our earth's atmosphere cause ionization of the atoms of the gases present in the atmosphere and their energy decreases as they approach to earth.

Statement-1 : On viewing the clear blue portion of the sky through a Calcite Crystal, the intensity of transmitted light varies as the crystal is rotated. Statement-2 : The light coming from the sky is polarized due to scattering of sun light by particles in the atmoshphere. The scattering is largest for blue light.
