Best Answer

An optical illusion that is caused by atmospheric conditions in which nonexistent bodies of water are seen is commonly referred to as a mirage. This is most common in extremely hot climates, and although the most common mirage is of bodies of water, there are other illusions that may appear to a person, as well.
