Because they supposed to pass the atmosphere rather than just flying over the entire world.
planes
Supersonic plane
It's really fast. 340mps is not slow buddy. Very few planes travel faster than that :D.
It strictly depends on which two specific items you are comparing. Bullets travel various speeds, as do airplanes. Some bullets are faster than some planes, and some planes are faster than some bullets.
Of course not! A plane can travel at hundreds of miles an hour. The fastest horse only reaches 55 miles per hour for a very short distance. I mean, really! If horses were faster than planes, than why did we invent planes to travel long distances?
Supersonic planes travel faster than sound. There are a lot of them. Most modern fighter jets can do it, and there have even been commercial planes that could (eg Concorde, Tu-144).
A lot of stuff. Sound travels at 330 m/s (metres a second), so is faster than cars, planes (well, some...), and even Usain Bolt! However, some planes, and even the whip (so that's what that crackiing noise was! :) can travel faster. Of course, light is much faster!
yes
Some people want to travel during the day, some want to travel at night, some planes travel faster than other planes, some planes fly a short distance, some fly a long distance. Sometimes the weather effects the way planes fly.
Some do, some don't. The bullet from a .45ACP is subsonic. There are a number of planes that fly at supersonic speeds.
They named as ultrasonic planes. They can travel very fast.
Flying is faster because the average speed traveled in a plane is greater than in a car and planes can travel along a straight line distance as opposed to being limited to streets and highways.
