What is Mirage?

There are two types of miracles: lower and superior. Mirages is caused by light fracture, which is bending light waves. The refraction occurs when light passes through one type of material to another. For example, it can pass through the air and go into the water. Light can also be tinned as it passes through the surface of warm air into the cooler air area, as cold air has a higher density than warm air.

in the lower miracle , which is the most common type, the object seems to be present as if both the real object and its reflection in the water. When the earth is very hot, the heat emits from the ground and heats the air directly above it. When the light passes through the cooler air above the warmer air below, it bends and forms a miracle. Mirage looks like an object that is reflected in the water, because part of the light would usually go to the ground, but it is bent and instead goes into the eyes and creates a double image. Over hot days are commonly observed on paved roads on paved roads and often looklike puddles of water on the surface of the road. This is a miracle in the desert - the scenario most often associated with Mirages.

A Superior Mirage occurs above the horizon because the weight of the cold air is below the weight of warm air. It usually occurs on ice or very cold water. In this type of Mirage, the object seems to be much higher than logical. Examples of this type that sailors commonly observe are images of floating islands and masses on the ground where there are none. Excellent miracles are most often observed in polar regions due to large amounts of ice and very cold water.

Superior Mirages are visible for long distances because the ground is round. If the ground was flat, the light that was bent down would get to the ground very close to where the light wjak bent, and Mirage would only be visible at a very close distance. An interesting example occurred in the year1596, when a ship looking for a northwest passage trapped in the ice far in the Atlantic Ocean and the crew had to stay there throughout the winter. Since the light of the sun was quarreled in a curve after the curve of the ground, the crew saw the light two weeks before the real end of a very long night in the middle winter.
