Why is their heat distortion and why does it only happen in the distance?
In: 0
Hot air bends light differently than cold air because hot air is less dense.
It doesn’t only happen at long distances (sometimes you can see it near the surface of a road or a dark car, or even a grill) but it can be more noticeable as there is more air that the light needs to pass through to get to your eyes.
