Why do you like aeroplanes so much?

Because you can see the clouds from up there


What makes the rapid flow of charge through the air between the two oppositely charged clouds?

The electrified air present b/w the two oppositely charged clouds makes the rapid flow of charges b/w the two oppositely charged clouds.


How can static electricity build up on aeroplanes?

It passes from clouds to aircraft and builds up.


Why do airplanes get electrically charged while flying?

Answeryes ... sometimes quite severely.partly from flying through charged clouds,and partly from just the friction from the air as the plane passes through it.


Why do aeroplanes fly above the clouds?

They don't always fly above the clouds. They fly below, in or above them. Planes have optimum levels that they fly at. Sometimes that may be above the clouds, but not always.


Do aeroplanes move between the clouds or above the clouds?

Areoplanes move between the clouds and above the clouds. When aeroplanes move between the clouds, the aeroplane generally penetrates the cloud atmosphere, thus forcing the cloud to divide into two or more separate clouds. Depending on the speed and altitude, the likely byproduct of the separation is precipitation. When the speed of the aeroplane is such that it reaches maximum velocity, friction will be generated between surfaces of the cloud and the outer shell of the areoplane resulting in what is commonly known as "lightning".


What is the purpose of a gyroscope in aeroplanes?

The gyroscope helps the pilot to tell whether or not he is flying straight when he is in the dark at night or in a bank of clouds.


Why is aluminum used to make aeroplanes?

because the cost for the product is greater then the cost for the steel also it is light and when it is in the air it is denser then the clouds


What is the charge of the tree and ground before the clouds appear overhead?

i think the trees and the ground may have a neutral charge bfore clouds form then they become positively charged when negative charges form at the lower portion of the cloud.


What processes does water go through to become clouds?
