The cell-like structures, each about the size of Texas (approximately 700'000km 2), are the signature of a dynamic activity of heat from the inside of the sun to its surface. The solar material rising in the bright centers of “cells" then sinks becoming a darker less-hot material by convection.
Also, unlike most other solar measurements, sunrise occurs when the Sun's upper limb, rather than its center, appears to cross the horizon. The apparent radius of the Sun at the horizon is 16 arcminutes. [1] These two angles combine to define sunrise to occur when the Sun's center is 50 arcminutes below the horizon, or 90.83° from the zenith. [1]
Light from the Sun is bent, or refracted, as it enters Earth's atmosphere. This effect causes the apparent sunrise to be earlier than the actual sunrise. Similarly, apparent sunset occurs slightly later than actual sunset. In ordinary atmospheric conditions, the setting or rising Sun appears to be about half a degree above its geometric position.

[1] Like the Japanese national flag, the Rising Sun Flag symbolizes the Sun. The flag was originally used by feudal warlords in Japan during the Edo period (1603–1868 CE). [2]
