by rain or something....
Yes, mirages are real and are caused by the bending of light rays due to variations in air temperature. This bending of light can create optical illusions, making distant objects appear distorted or displaced.
Since mirages are caused by heat distorting light, and that tar-seal can get quite hot on a sunny, cloudless day.
First of all, what's a mirage? Mirages are not optical illusions, as many people (and Web sites!) think. They are real phenomena of atmospheric optics, caused by strong ray-bending in layers with steep thermal gradients. Because mirages are real physical phenomena, they can be photographed.
Mirages can create optical illusions that mislead people about the presence of water or other objects in the distance, particularly in hot, arid environments. This can lead to confusion, misjudgment of distance, and even dangerous situations, such as dehydration or getting lost. Drivers may also be distracted or misled by mirages on roadways, increasing the risk of accidents. Overall, mirages can significantly impact decision-making in outdoor settings.
