It does.
It's the opposite of the drawing.
It happens because of wave interference. Light travels faster in thin air than in thick air. Refraction of light is always towards the area of slower light speed. The same thing happens to light from a lantern on the bottom of a swimming pool that reaches the surface.
It is not caused by a "force", it is caused by wave interference.
You might want to get your facts straight before you start behaving like a condescending a-hole.
Refraction, even through a gradient index medium like an atmosphere, is not due to wave interference.*
When you start calling people stupid, make sure your arguments don't show that you are.
*(If you think it is, why are there never any multiple order refracted beams?)
