A mirage is when you are for say in the desert plains and you see a lake in the distance. You keep going and you never reach the lake. The lake was a mirage, you thought it was a lake, but because you were hot and thirsty, you imagined it up.

Why is a mirage not observed in places with a moderate climate?
A mirage is an optical illusion, a trick of the light, caused by extreme heat causing a mirror effect reflecting the sky. It doesn't appear in moderate climate conditions.
Why does soil seem to shimmer in hot summer day?
Mirage. The air near the surface is heated, movement of air, and different densities of air causes light rays passing through it to bend- like light that passes through a wave of water.
Why does there look like there is water on the road when its hot out?
Because its probably a mirage. A mirage is an image of a distant object caused by refraction of light. The puddles on the road are light rays from the sky that are refracted to your eyes.Lets say there is a white car behind you and you notice shiny white areas behind the car. The air just above the road is hotter than the air higher up. Light travels faster in hot air. So light rays from the white car that travel toward the road are bent upward by the hot air. Your brain assumes that the rays travel in a straight line. So the rays look as if they have reflected of a smooth surface.
How far is the blue sky from the earth?
The sky isn't necessarily there, the blue factor of the sky is created when all of the Earth's water reflects off the sun, and bounces back to Earth. So the sky is kind of like a mirage: you can see it but its not really there. Therefor since it is not there, there is no distance from the Earth to the sky.
How is a mirage formed?
A mirage is a reflection visible at sea, in deserts, or above hot pavement of some distant object often in distorted form as a result of atmospheric conditions.It's actually when an optical illusion appears real, such as water on the highway. Mirages are caused when light bends and goes through one type of material and shows up on another. So on the highway, the mirage of water is NOT a reflection . It's the refraction of light through heat that gives the impression of water.
