What are jet contrails?

Jet contrails are water condensation resulting from the rapid compression and decompression of the air around the wing as the airplane moves through the atmosphere. The atmospheric conditions have to be just right for contrails to occur, and that is why you sometimes see contrails seem to wink off and on, as the airplane passes through drier air the contrails will stop.


What types of planes leave contrails?

Any kind of powered airplane can leave contrails under the proper condition. Rocket planes always leave contrails. Jets usually leave contrails but may not if the atmospheric conditions are not right. Even internal combustion engine planes can leave contrails if they operate at very high altitude and the atmospheric conditions are just right.

What are the streams that jet planes leave in the sky?

The streams that jet planes leave in the sky are called contrails. Contrails form when the hot, moist exhaust from the airplane engines mixes with the cold air at high altitudes, causing the water vapor to condense into ice crystals. Contrails can sometimes linger in the sky for a while, creating long white streaks behind the plane.

What is the classification for the contrials cloud?

Misspelled it: It's contrail clouds. They're in family A, high altitude clouds. Contrails are made from either airplane exhaust or wingtip vortexes. Wingtip vortexes are essentially a drop in air pressure during flight, which causes a temperature change, which causes mositure to condense. That all leads to contrails. Airplane exhaust simply condenses to form clouds. Contrail clouds last long after the plane has left.


How do you use the word contrail in a sentence?
