A mirage
is a naturally occurring optical phenomenon in which light rays are bent to
produce a displaced image of distant objects or the sky.
The cause of mirage is the image seen is under the real object. The real object is the blue sky or any distant object in that direction, meaning we see a bright bluish patch on the ground in the distance. For exhausted travelers in the desert it appears as a lake of water. On tarmac roads it may seem that water or even oil has been spilled. This is called a "desert mirage" or "highway mirage". Note that both sand and tarmac can become very hot when exposed to the sun, easily being more than 10°C hotter than the air one meter above, enough to cause the mirage.
In
China, there are many cases about mirage.
This mirage can saw in the Haikou City, Hainan Province, China. This one was happened on Monday, 9 May 2011.
Around 16:00 over the bay near Haikou City has arisen unique natural phenomenon- a mirage. Almost an hour, people could watch a ghost town, that hangs over the sea, many people gathered on the beach to witness the
phenomenon.
As
reported, the mirage has arisen because of an abnormally high temperature,
which is established in the last few days on Hainan Island, usually unusual for
this time year. Previously, they reported about a similar case in the summer of
2010 in the city of Sanya, with regard to the high temperature 35-38 degrees
Celsius in the coming days is likely to repeat mirages and everyone can see
them.
This is
really amazing. Write this blog I know what mirage is and the cause of mirage. I
got a lot of information. If I have the opportunity, I definitely would not
miss this kind of beautiful scene.
