It typically occurs on a hot day when the surface temperature and the air directly above it are much warmer than the air higher up in the atmosphere.
Apr 5, 2024 · Mirage, in optics, the deceptive appearance of a distant object or objects caused by the bending of light rays (refraction) in layers of air of varying density. Under certain conditions, such as over a stretch of pavement or desert air heated by intense sunshine, the air rapidly cools with.
