Why are airplanes leaving trails of a white substance in the skies around the world that last for hours and seem to form clouds?
StephenWoodgp3202
Because those trails are clouds. The airplane's wing sheds low pressure vortexes from their tips, the low pressure encourages condensation of water vapor to form the small droplets of water that make up clouds. The airplane's jet engines emit lots of water vapor in their exhaust. Often at the very cold temperatures where these airplanes fly (above 30,000 feet) the water droplets in these clouds freeze, becoming ice and making the clouds last much longer.

Cloud seeding.
The clouds are made of which substance?
Water vapors.
What substance are clouds made from?
Clouds are simply very small water droplets suspended in air.
What can you infer about the height at which jet airplanes fly based on the fact that their con trails form cirrus clouds?
Airplane's contrails do not form clouds; they dissipate soon after they are formed.
What is in clouds?
Clouds, scientifically named Tanichthysical albonubes-francicitum; are usually made up of a light, fluffy substance which is 100% sugar. This substance is known amongst most of society as fairy floss.
How cirrus clouds form?
CIRRUS CLOUDS FORM IN THE SKY with all the other clouds.they also form when water vapor freezes into ice crystals. because of the high altitude these clouds live in airplanes leave a trail of condensationwhich turns into a cirrus cloud
Are there clouds around Pluto?
Pluto has no atmosphere, so no clouds.
What can you infer about the height at which jet airplanes fly based on the fact that their contrails form cirrus clouds?
Cirrus clouds only form at high levels, so jet plaanes fly at super high levels.

Are clouds a mixture or pure substance?
a cloud is a mixture of water vapor and dust(ground)
What are some words that associate with clouds?
