MIRAGES
WHATâS THAT UP AHEAD?
Throw a rock into water. Ripples move across the water. Mirages are like ripples in the air. Sometimes a dry road up ahead looks wet on a hot day. This is a mirage. The air above the road gets hot from the sun. This air has ripples in it.

Lightning strikes the sand. BAM! The hot bolt of lightning snakes through the ground. Sand around the lightning melts. The melted sand cools. Hard tubes of sand are left behind. They are in the shape of a lightning bolt.
