Because - the further you are away from the Earth's surface - the lower the temperature is.

What is the lowest altitude a plane can fly at?

1000 - 500 ft


What units would be used to measure the surface temperature of a plane?

Surface temperature is the temperature of a body at a particular location. Factors that affects this temperature are altitude, and environmental temperature. The surface temperature declines or goes up as the plane changes altitude.


What is the lowest maintainable airspeed?

it's the slowest you can fly without dropping out of the sky. It's different from plane to plane, altitude, amount of load etc.


What is a sentence for gradually?

I gradually increased the temperature in the house. The plane gradually decreased it's altitude towards the runway.


What is the minimum temperature ever recorded outside a plane when it is at the highest altitude?

It is -272,75*C or 0,4K. Above answer is pretty low. I flew from London to Boston and the temperature got to around 192 F for two hours over Greenland. The cabin started to get chilly. Pretty scary.


Two planes are flying at the speed of sound Plane X is flying at an altitude of 6000 feet and plane Y is flying at an altitude of 15000 feet which is flying faster?

As altitude increases (to about 35,000 ft) air density, pressure and temperature all drop. As density decreases speed of sound increases, but with drop in pressure it drops; these two practically cancel each other out. As temperature drops, speed of sound drops. Thus at 15,000 ft the speed of sound is slower than at 6,000 ft so plane X is flying faster than plane Y.


an aircraft descends 150m from an altitude of 650m to avoid turbulence. The plane ascends 830m after the descent. at what altitude is the plane flying?

1330m


Why ink spil out from pen in the aero plane?

Because as altitude increases, air pressure decreases. As the plane rises, the air pressure inside the pen is higher than outside it causing the ink to spill out.


What happens to your plane's altitude if you perform?

If performed correctly, your altitude should increase.


What happens to your plane's altitude if you perform a?

If performed correctly, your altitude should increase.


What is a sentence with the word altitude in it?

The plane was losing altitude.Altitude is not the same thing as attitude.We need more altitude or we will crash into the trees.The altitude sickness worsened.


Why cabin altitude is not equal to actual altitude?

Because the cabin inside the plane is pressurized?
