Mirage (Fata Morgana) is an optical phenomenon, but the real trigger for it is the density inversion and the autoconvective lapse rate. This video describes how the autoconvective lapse rate leads to a mirage. Fermat's principle of least time is offered as an alternative explanation.

TIL the green ray: it's kind of a rarity to see this optical phenomenon. It happens during sunsets or sunrises, and occurs because our atmosphere refracts sunlight into different frequencies (that our eyes recognize with different colours).
