Why do we see water on road in summers|Mirage|Urdu/Hindi?

We see water on hot roads in summer because the air acts like a mirror, making it look like there's water, even though there isn't!

Imagine you're walking on a very hot day. The road feels like it’s burning your feet! The hot road heats up the air just above it, and this hot air acts like a lens, bending the light that comes from far away, like the sky.

Now think of a prism you see in a rainbow. It bends light so we can see colors. In this case, the hot air is doing something similar but with light coming from above, making it look like there’s water reflecting the sky, just like when you see your reflection on a pond!

The hot air near the road is less dense than the cooler air above it. This difference makes light bend, or refract, in a way that tricks our eyes into thinking there's a shiny surface, like water.

It’s kind of like when you put a straw in a glass of water and it looks bent, the same idea, but with hot air instead of water!
