A mirage is caused by the refraction of light due to temperature differences in the air layers near the ground. When warm air sits above cooler air, light rays bend as they pass through these varying densities, creating the illusion of water or distant objects. This optical phenomenon is commonly seen in hot environments, like deserts or roads on a sunny day. The effect is not a true reflection but rather a visual distortion of the landscape.
