Required Answer:

Mirage is an optical illusion brought on by the phenomena of absolute internal light reflection. So when a light passes from cold air to hot air light tends to bend this is known as refraction. As the light gets refracted it reaches to a point where the light tends to form 900 angle. Mirages happen when the ground is very hot and the air is cool. The hot ground warms a layer of air just above the ground. When the light moves through the cold air and into the layer of hot air it is refracted (bent). A layer of very warm air near the ground refracts the light from the sky nearly into a U-shaped bend.
