jet stream.


Does a plane flying against a jet stream travel faster than a plane travelling with a jet stream?

No.


What is the difference between jet stream and global wind belts?

jet streams travel above global winds. might not be a straight forward answer, but its something.


What is the difference between a continental jet stream and a polar jet stream?

A continental jet-stream travels parallel to the equator - a polar jet-stream travels in a north/south direction.


What statement is true of jet streams A. The subtropical jet stream lies between the westerlies and polar easterlies. B. The subtropical jet stream flows to the east while the polar jet stream flows?

A. The subtropical jet stream lies between the westerlies and polar easterlies; this statement is true. B. The polar jet stream typically flows to the east, while the subtropical jet stream flows towards the west.


What is true about jets streams?

The polar jet stream is generally stronger than the subtropical jet stream. The subtropical jet stream lies between the westerlies and trade winds.


How does a jet stream form between cold and hot air masses?

There are several factors which ensure that jet streams are formed between warm and cold air. Usually more widespread during the winter months jetstreams are formed due to a border between the hot and cold air when then meet together.


A plane flying against a jet stream will travel faster than a plane traveling with a jet stream?

No, a plane flying against a jet stream will travel slower than a plane traveling with a jet stream. The jet stream is a high-altitude wind that can either boost or hinder an aircraft's speed depending on the direction of travel in relation to it. Flying with the jet stream provides a tailwind, increasing the aircraft's ground speed, while flying against it results in a headwind, reducing the ground speed.


What is attached to the jet stream?

Low Pressure Systems are embedded within and travel along with the Jet Stream. At the Alaskan Panhandle resides what is termed "The Mother Low"; it spawns the Lows that travel with the Jet Stream. Another 'local component' [western coast of North America] is the so-called "Pineapple Express", warm winds from Hawaii!


Why do planes use the jet stream?

Planes use the jet stream because it is a high-altitude, strong air current that can significantly increase their speed and efficiency when flying in the same direction as the jet stream. By riding the jet stream, planes can save fuel and reduce travel time.


What layer do airplanes sometimes travel to avoid bed weather?

Airplanes sometimes travel to the jet stream layer to avoid bad weather. The jet stream can provide a smoother ride above turbulent weather systems such as thunderstorms. It is located at high altitudes, typically between 30,000 and 40,000 feet.
