That is not due to beam divergence, it would happen with truely parallel 
light. It is caused by perspective: the rays come through the clouds at 
a distance and pass to each side. If the sun was close enough for 
divergence to be visible, there probably wouldn't be clouds and you 
wouldn't be there to see it.
