Why is light rafracted when you see a mirage?

Layer of air at different temperatures refracts ("bends") light at different angles. Cold air is more dense than warm, and refracts light at a greater angle. Actually, it is the boundary between layers that does the refracting--poke a stick into a pool of water [or a pencil into a bowl of water] and observe the "broken" appearance. In the atmosphere, this can cause an image to appear "above" its actual location, usually upside down.
