Looming and similar refraction phenomena

ID: looming-and-similar-refraction-phenomena

Looming is an optical phenomenon that occurs when an object appears to rise above the horizon, despite being located below it. It typically happens in specific atmospheric conditions, such as when there is a significant temperature inversion or when warm air overlays colder air, which alters the refractive index of the air and causes light to bend downwards. ### How Looming Works 1.
