What is the real ship, which has spread its image while hovering in the air

ArabiaWeather - It may seem an imaginary scene when one sees a ship that appears to be hovering over the ocean waters while on a picnic on the coast, this is described by David Morris, who captured an unusual scene with his camera, when he noticed a giant oil tanker floating above the water while he was looking at the sea from A small village on the English coast of Cornwall, so what is the truth about the ship that appeared to be hovering in the air?

This visual effect is known as a Superior Mirage and is an optical illusion that is common in the Arctic, but may occur infrequently in the UK during winters when weather conditions are favorable.

What is a supreme or super mirage

Produces a mirage top for air phenomenon called inversion temperature (Temperature Inversion) was called a coup or a reversal because they do not represent the natural balance of the temperature in the atmosphere, as it usually air temperature with increasing altitude, decreases making air peaks cooler, but in In the case of a temperature flip, warm air settles on top of a beam of cold air, causing the illusion of our visual perception.

The optical illusion of the oil tanker hovering in the air was caused by the presence of cold air directly over the relatively cold sea water, with warm air above it.

How does the highest mirage happen

The higher mirage is caused by the temperature inversion as the cold air falls near the surface of the sea with warm air above it, and because the cold air is denser than the warm air, its refractive index is higher, and this works to bend the light that reaches the eyes of a viewer standing on the ground or On the coast, and in the case of a ship hovering in the air, the light rays reflected from the ship bent down as it passed through the cold air, and this makes the ship appear higher than it is already above sea level for observers on the coast.
