⠀

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.An example of a mirage is when you believe you see water or a ship in the desert when it isn't really there. noun.

Answer 2

Answer:

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.
