Why do distant objects ripple on a hot day?
Distance objects can be seen to "ripple" on a hot day because of refraction. As light from a distance object makes the trip to the observer, it passes through air of slightly varying densities. This causes it to "change course" to a degree, which is refraction. It is this thermally induced refraction that is responsible for the "ripple" we see, and for the mirage we sometimes hear about.

Why does the light bend inside a prism or water?
As light passes through a prism, it is bent by the angles and plane faces of the prism. This is called refraction and is defined as the fact of light, radio waves, etc., being deflected in passing obliquely through the interface between one medium and another or through a medium of varying density.
Is this true . a given mineral can have varying densitys?
not at the same temperature
How do you find the varying rate of change in temperature?
Meaningless question.
Within what distance from a tornado is dangerous?
Tornadoes have varying intensities therefore the safe distance varies also.
How are metal oxides obtained?
it is obtained by varying either temperature or pressure.
How far is the earths moon from mercury?
Varying from the the distance from the Earth to the Moon + the distance from the sun to the earth + the distance from mercury to the sun, to the distance from the earth to the sun - the distance from mercury to the sun - the distance from the earth to the moon
What is the temperature of Milky Way?
The Milky Way is a large galaxy. It has varying temperatures all through the galaxy. Earth is part of the Milky Way. Consider all the different temperatures on Earth.
