Mirages The world really is not what it appears to be! Dependent on large density differences of the atmosphere in the vertical-normally associated with a layer of cool or warm air near the surface

Two Types of Mirages Inferior Mirage: objects appear lower than they actually are. Superior Mirage: objects appear higher than they actually are.

Water on the Road Mirage! An Example of an Inferior Mirage

If the surface is warm enough you can even get objects turning upside down

Superior Mirage
