To avoid turbulence, most commercial jets fly in the upper layer of the troposphere, which varies in height depending on latitude, typically 40,000 feet (5 km). This is on the border of the tropopause, just above the troposphere, and the lower layer of the stratosphere in some cases.
They generally fly in the troposphere at lower levels and the stratosphere while cruising, which are the first and second sections of the atmosphere. The begining of the stratosphere can start at varying levels. At the poles you can hit it as soon as 7000 meters, so often planes will fly into this second layer of our atmosphere.
The troposphere is the most important layer of the atmosphere to humans because it is where all weather conditions occur and where we live and breathe. It contains the air we need to survive, and most of our activities, such as flying planes and launching rockets, take place in this layer.
Most commercial planes fly in the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere and extends up to about 7-10 miles above the surface. This layer contains the majority of the Earth's weather systems and is where most commercial airliners operate.
It depends which atmosphere you mean. The Earth's atmosphere is (not counting water vapour, which varies between 1 and 5% at the surface) 78% nitrogen, 20% oxygen, 1% argon and 1% other gasses (mainly carbon dioxide) It is divided into many layers. The lowest is the troposphere, where all the weather happens and is the part planes fly in. Directly above that is the stratosphere and above that is the mesosphere. Then the thermosphere (this is seriously high, we're talking space stations and shuttles now). And finally the exosphere, which is mainly hydrogen and helium. Within these layers are other divisions like the ozone layer in the stratosphere where almost all of the ozone is found. Mars' atmosphere is very dry and composed mainly of carbon dioxide. Venus' is very dense and sulphur-rich. Jupiter and Saturn both have largely hydrogen and helium bases atmospheres while Saturn's moon Titan has a very thick atmosphere made up almost entirely of nitrogen.
yes. They normally don't, because it was found they were damaging it. But they do fly through it when flying between continents (Moscow to New York, for example). The ozone layer dips pretty low over the poles.
Jets do, not prop planes.
Well,it is the first "sphere" in earth's atmosphere. Also where we see weather. Planes do fly in the troposphere. ( the air we breathe, it's in the troposphere )
The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earthâ??s atmosphere. The troposphere is the layer right above the surface of the Earth and this is the place where weather takes place.
yes most civilian aircraft fly only in the troposphere as because of the density of the air the wing can generate lift very easily as long as the wing is a suitable shape. The troposphere is only about 12Km in vertical height
Most planes fly in one layer of the atmosphere called the troposphere. High flying aircraft can fly into the stratosphere
The stratosphere
They generally fly in the troposphere at lower levels and the stratosphere while cruising, which are the first and second sections of the atmosphere. The begining of the stratosphere can start at varying levels. At the poles you can hit it as soon as 7000 meters, so often planes will fly into this second layer of our atmosphere.
The troposphere is the lowest layer of the atmosphere, the one in which people and plants and animals live. Almost all the water vapor in the atmosphere is found in the troposphere, some as cloud layers. The troposphere is therefore the location of almost all weather.
Stratosphere and Troposphere
The troposphere is the most important layer of the atmosphere to humans because it is where all weather conditions occur and where we live and breathe. It contains the air we need to survive, and most of our activities, such as flying planes and launching rockets, take place in this layer.
Airplanes fly inside the atmosphere which is made up of 4 levels. The atmosphere starts at sea or ground level and when it ends you are in outer space (no longer on earth). Majority of all planes fly in the first level of the atmosphere called the Troposphere which ends around 50K feet. Military jets and spy planes usually fly in the second atmosphere called the stratosphere.
