The wings of an aeroplane produce liftÂ?which keeps the plane in the air.


How the wings work

For every action, there is a reaction. There is a large amount of air being forced down by the wings. After the air flows over the top of the wing, due to the shape of the wing, that air also flows downwards, creating an upward force on the wing. Thus, the opposite force would be the air keeping the airplane up.

It does, when they're low enough. The rays from the sun don't travel entirely straight when they go through atmosphere, so if the plane is high enough the light has the time to bounce back and fill the void left under the plane.

paper aeroplanes flies in air because they less resist the air. For example- if you drop a heavy object and a paper from same height, the heavy object reaches first to ground and the paper will reach ground after the object. Similarly, paper plane flies for some time in air then it comes down.
