Answer:
A mirage is a naturally occurring optical phenomenon in which light rays bend via refraction to produce a displaced image of distant objects or the sky. The word comes to English via the French mirage, from the Latin mirage, meaning "to look at, to wonder at".

The mirage is caused by the total internal reflection of light at layers of air of different densities.In a desert, the sand is very hot during day time and a result the layer of air in contact with it gets heated up and becomes lighter. The lighter air rises up and the denser air from above comes down.
Hope it's helps you
