According to the Inner Mongolia Meteorological Bureau, Inner Mongolia's Erenhot City on the morning of July 1 suddenly appeared mirage spectacle, according to the released photos, there were huge high-rise buildings standing in the local gloomy clouds, this news immediately attracted a large number of netizens, many netizens sighed and marveled at the same time also felt a little strange "How does this photo look wrong?" ”
Soon, some netizens also found a problem: how can there be water droplets and dust points under this huge shadow? I even saw the blue gradient film above the front windshield of the car and the annual inspection signs posted on the corners of the windshield, which seemed to be a reflection taken in the window. Netizens are indeed very meticulous and good at thinking, of course, this is not a mirage photo, but a reflection of the window glass taken inside the car window.
Subsequently, the Inner Mongolia Meteorological Bureau also issued a statement, saying that today's mirage photo of Erenhot, Inner Mongolia, was indeed mistaken, reflecting the reflection in the window.
Mirages are optical phenomena that occur in nature because the density of cold and warm air is different, resulting in different refractive indexes of light, which eventually causes light to deflect and generate an illusion at a long distance or in the sky. Mirages can be classified into three categories: "lower mirages", "upper mirages" and "complex mirages", representing the different locations of mirages. Mirages are divided into 3 categories: mirages, mirages and complex mirages, such as images appearing below the actual location, that is, mirages, sometimes, we can see the reflection of water on the road on the hot road, which is actually a mirage formed by the sky on the road, as shown below, a "lake" suddenly appears on the desert horizon, which is actually a mirage.
But in any case, due to the cause of the mirage, the mirage appears close to the horizon, and the image is relatively small, and it will not be like the huge tall buildings in the sky as taken in the previous article, so if you see similar "mirage" photos or videos on the social platform next time, it should be fake.
