What are mirages and how do they form?
Mirages are optical illusions caused by the refraction of light rays in layers of air at different temperatures. When the ground is heated by the sun, it warms the air directly above it, creating a gradient of hot and cooler air layers. As light passes through these layers, it bends, sometimes creating the appearance of water or distant objects in the sky. This phenomenon is commonly observed in deserts or on hot roads, where the effect is most pronounced.
