What is a mirage on land called

The one by the sea is called the sea market, and the one on the land (desert) is called the mirage.

Mirage originally refers to the sea or desert, due to the reflection and refraction of light, the air or the ground appear illusory towers. Now it is more of a metaphor for ethereal things.

A mirage, also known as a mirage, is a natural phenomenon formed by the refraction and total reflection of light. Its formation is closely related to the weather situation, meteorological conditions, geographical location, geophysics, etc. Mirages can be seen at sea or on land.

It is characterized by repetition in the same place and at the same time.

Due to the different densities, light rays are refracted at the temperature gradient demarcation. The brain thinks that light always travels in a straight line, but when light passes through the cool, dense atmosphere below, it refracts downward, so that distant buildings appear in the brain are taller than they actually are.

The formation of a mirage is closely related to the weather situation, meteorological conditions, geographical location, geophysics, etc. When a mirage appears, there is a noticeable change in the weather. According to the data analysis, the day before the appearance of the "mirage" there was significant precipitation and cooling weather, and the temperature was generally significantly lower than the previous day.

"Mirages" often occur at sea, because the air humidity and thickness of the space within a certain range of the sea are relatively large, so that the large area of water vapor under the movement of the air inadvertently forms a huge lens system. When the temperature near the ground changes drastically, it will cause a huge difference in the density of the atmosphere, and the distant scenery will undergo abnormal refraction and total reflection when the light propagation, resulting in a mirage.

The mirage of a mirage is a big haha.

海市圃楼, a Chinese idiom, pinyin is hǎi shì shèn lóu, originally referring to the seaside or desert, due to the reflection and refraction of light, the air or ground appears illusory towers and castles, mirage (clams) for pheasants (sparrows) into the sea. Now it is more of a metaphor for ethereal things.

From "Historical Records: Book of Heavenly Officials": "Seaside mirage (mirage) meteorological tower; Hirono is angry. The clouds are like the mountains and rivers where the people gather.

uttered "The Legacy of the Sui and Tang Dynasties": "Zhang Changyi is favored, please trust the city." Li Zhan said:

This mirage is more than an ear, how long will it last? "It is also a mirage.

Example sentence:

1. The whole system works like a mirage: the hot air and light are distorted, so that the road ahead is hidden behind the image of the sky.

2. There are also various degrees of ice: we see drooping glaciers, frozen fields, and then, like a mirage that appears in the distance, we see the icebergs on the sea for the first time.

3. Due to the use of small "side-skin tricks", the urban scene expressed by these "second-hand realities" brings a sense of vagueness close to a mirage to the world, as if the buildings are slowly melting into the sky.

4. Life without problems is just an illusion all the time, like a mirage in the desert.

5. A decaying city full of gigantic mirage-like edifices casts a bleak, disgusting shadow of sleepiness.

In the idiom "mirage", the original meaning of "mirage" refers to large clams, and there is a note in "Zhou Li: Palm Mirage": "Mirage - big clams also". The pronunciation of "mirage" is "shen (four tones)", the sound is from Chen, and the meaning is from the worm.

Mirages are usually formed due to the refraction and total reflection of light, and are closely related to the geographical location of the formation site, weather situation, meteorological conditions, geophysics and other natural conditions, and are likely to be encountered in both the sea and land.

When we see a mirage of tall buildings, trees, etc., in the air or "underground" on a calm sea, lake, river, desert Gobi or snowfield, it means that we have encountered a mirage. Mirages have existed since ancient times, Western mythology regards it as a bad omen of death and misfortune, and in ancient China, it was regarded as a fairyland, the so-called Penglai Wonderland.

In the myths and legends of ancient China, the "mirage" is also a sea monster that looks like a large clam. In addition, some people say that the "mirage" is a water dragon.

The formation of mirages requires a large area of atmospheric discontinuity, so most of them will only occur in relatively empty deserts and sea skins, and the probability of mirages in cities with dense buildings or surrounded by mountains is relatively small.

This year, Shanghai, Qinhuangpai Island, Hainan and other places have a mirage record, Qinhuangdao ** coastal scenic spot tourists on the sea to see a fabulous "fairy mountain".

<>1. Mirage is an optical illusion, which is the refraction and reflection of light.

2. The mirage is the reflection of the distant building or landscape, the reason is that when the sun shines on the surface, the ground temperature rises, and its density becomes smaller, and the temperature above the ground is relatively low, the density is larger, when the light rays from the dense air layer into the low density gas layer, its angle deviates, people can see the distant landscape according to the light, that is, the mirage. According to the angle of refraction of light, it can be divided into upper mirage, lower mirage and lateral mirage. The phenomenon of mirage often occurs in areas with large temperature differences or high gas densities.
