Can you see a mirage at night?

No. To put it simply, mirages occur at ground level or sea level, not in the sky.

Specifically, the mirage is due to the uneven density of the air near the surface that causes the light emitted by distant objects to be refracted into the human eye many times, firstly, the bright spots you see are not like the form of specific objects, secondly, mirages occur in the desert or the seaside, these places sometimes have a large change in air density under the sun, only the mirage will appear, Xichang does not have such a geographical environment, third, because the air is not a lens after all, the refractive index is very low, if you want to see the mirage in the clouds, Then the distance of the physical object is "quite" far, even if the light can be refracted over, it will be scattered because the distance is too far, and it is impossible for the human eye to observe, therefore, the bright spot you see should be the light of the searchlight reflected by the clouds

A mirage is a refraction of light! Therefore, there is generally no mirage at night! But there are also special reasons like this one you come across (with searchlights) to have light! So that should be a mirage!

You are a mirage, because there is the refraction of light, which is the principle of optics.

Where did the mirage come from? The so-called mirage is produced after the refraction of the reflected light of distant objects from a light-dense medium to a light-sphobic medium or a light-sphobic medium to a light-dense medium.

No, there is no sunlight at night.

Stupid, that's not a searchlight!

You've seen a mirage.

On July 15, the reporter photographed a mirage scene in Mirs Bay late at night. The scene of a mirage on the sea surface of Dapeng Bay in Shenzhen was successfully recorded by a late-night reporter who was photographing Bryde's whales.

According to local fishermen, the sea surface of the incident is located on the north and south sides of Peng Chau Island on the Hong Kong side of Mirs Bay, and a fish-shaped island image appeared on the south side, with a white lighthouse-like building above it and a columnar image next to it; On the north side, a columnar image and two basically symmetrical rectangular images appeared, which looked like a huge windmill from a distance.

Introduction:

Mirage is a kind of mirage due to the refraction of light, showing distant scenes in the air or on the ground to form a variety of strange scenes, this kind of image science is called mirage. Depending on the imaging, mirages are divided into many categories, generally divided into upper and lower mirages.

In layman's terms, a mirage is a mirage formed in the atmosphere above the actual location, which may be positive or inverted. On the contrary, it is a mirage, which is generally inverted.

When you hear the word "mirage", your first reaction may be that kind of fantasy scene in the endless desert. In fact, mirage refers to an optical phenomenon that occurs in a high-temperature environment. So, in this fantastical dream, will there be characters?

A natural wonder where scarcity is expensive.

In open areas such as deserts or beaches, a magical natural phenomenon usually occurs. When the temperature in the atmosphere is unevenly distributed, or when water vapor evaporated from the ground collects in the air, the refraction of bent light is produced, and this optical phenomenon is called a "mirage". Often found in scorching regions, it is known as a rare and stunning natural wonder due to its high visibility and bizarre appearance.

However, people often have the illusion of "illusory" because of optical illusions, seeing people and things that do not exist at all.

Superstition boosts.

In ancient times, when people saw the appearance of characters in a mirage, they often added various mystical factors to interpret it as the appearance of various gods. Because people lack sufficient scientific knowledge, explanations of natural phenomena are always full of superstition and mysticism. The mysterious appearance of the mirage exacerbates this erroneous interpretation, and superstition is fueled by it.

The scientific method dispels superstitions.

If we can use the scientific method to dispel superstitions, we can truly understand the implications behind the phenomenon of "mirage". Scientists point out that the mirage is not mysterious, but is actually a natural phenomenon of light disturbance land. Due to the influence of the climate, the refraction of light can cause distortion, making the scene in the mirage look very magical.

This phenomenon can be explained by precise scientific formulas, not by mystical superstitions.

Scientific explanations not only allow us to recognize the true principles of such phenomena, but also allow us to respect the wonder and complexity of nature. The appearance of the mirage, although it is a natural phenomenon, has inspired us to rethink "reality": the reality we see is not always accurate, and we need to understand them from a scientific perspective.

Conclusion. A mirage is a natural wonder that represents a process of exploration of human cognitive dilemmas and scientific explanations. In this process, we need to move away from superstitious interpretations, learn to understand the world in a scientific way, and think carefully about the true meaning behind what we see.

I believe that our exploration process will allow us to continue to appreciate the wonder and wisdom of nature, and think more deeply about our role and meaning in this world.
