Why do long distance aircraft choose to fly in the lower part of the stratosphere?

Because it doesn't have a bad weather and the air move horizontally

What layer of the atmosphere is Boeing?
Boeing aircraft can fly in the troposphere and lower stratosphere layers of Earth's atmosphere.
How high is the stratoshpere above the earth?
The stratosphere begins about 10 kilometers (6 miles) above the Earth, or at an altitude of about 33,000 feet. Commercial aircraft travel in the lower stratosphere, where the air is thinner and aerodynamic drag is lower. Towering cumulonimbus clouds can reach into the stratosphere from the troposphere, and rarely high cirrus clouds (including condensation trails from aircraft). The stratosphere extends to about 50 kilometers (31 miles) above the surface. The stratosphere is closer at the polar latitudes, with the lower limit being about 8 kilometers (5 miles).
What is air like in the stratosphere?
The stratosphere is the second layer in the atmosphere, right above the troposphere. The air is warmer the higher you go up and cooler farther down. Commercial aircraft flies in the lower layer of the stratosphere.

What is a TRUE STATEMENT about the stratosphere?
It is above the troposphere.
Into which layer of the atmosphere are jet airplane able to travel?
The stratosphere
Is the upper stratosphere colder then the lower stratosphere?
Yes, the upper stratosphere is colder than the lower stratosphere. This is because the stratosphere is heated from below by the Earth's surface, so as you move higher in the atmosphere, the temperature decreases. The temperature inversion between the lower and upper stratosphere is due to the absorption of solar radiation by ozone in the upper stratosphere.
Do jet stream occur in the mesosphere?
No. The jet stream is in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere.
Is the stratosphere?
The stratosphere is the layer above the troposphere (where we live). The ozone layer is found in the lower stratosphere. The stratosphere is the lowest layer where temperature increases with increasing altitude.
Why there is no rain in the stratosphere?
There is no rain in the stratosphere because the amount of water in the stratosphere is much lower than in the lower atmosphere, which means the condensation of water vapour which creates rain doesn't occur in the atmosphere.
