How It Works
When the wind is gentle or not moving at all, the water doesn't move much. This makes the ocean look smooth and calm, creating a perfect reflection of the sky.
Examples
- A calm lake reflects the sky like a mirror.
- On a windless day, the ocean looks perfectly still.
- You can see your face in a very smooth puddle.
