What is the name of the white trails that jets leave behind?
The white trails left behind jets are known as contrails.
What is an airplane smoke trail called?
Contrails or condensation trails
What kind of clouds are contrail?
Contrails are clouds that appear behind aircrafts. Contrails are long, thin, man-made clouds that are essentially vapor trails. These vapor trails are created by a change in water vapor or changes in air pressure.
What does the cloud name contrails mean?
Contrails is a shortening of condensation trails.
What are the trails planes leave behind?
Contrails are just condensation from the hot gases leaving the engine of the plane interacting with the cold air in the upper atmosphere.
What is the name of the fume like seen in the air when a jet flies?
Contrails or vapour trails.
What ae those airplanes that fly way above the other planes these planes leave trails?
The airplanes you’re referring to are likely high-altitude jets, such as commercial airliners or military aircraft, that fly at cruising altitudes typically between 30,000 and 40,000 feet. The trails they leave behind are called contrails, which form when water vapor in the aircraft's exhaust condenses and freezes in the cold atmosphere at high altitudes. These contrails can sometimes spread out and contribute to cloud formation.
What is white smoke frrom the flight like a line behind the flight?
It's called Contrails (condensation trails), and it's humidity condensing (gases that turn to fluids) as hot air from engine exhaust, meet the freezing cold air at altitudes of 30000 feet or more.
What is a clue left behind by an animal called?
"Scat" or feces is left behind on trails.
What are contrails and how do they form?
Contrails are the white, cloudlike trails left behind jets flying in the sky. They form when water vapor, a byproduct of the combustion taking place in the jet engines, condenses into water droplets (or ice crystals, if the temperature is low enough) after it has cooled down from the colder temperature high in the sky. This is similar to how clouds form.
What do you call the trail behind high-flying jets?
These are called "contrails" (short for "condensation trails") and are ice crystals formed from the water released by a jet engine. When jet fuel burns, it creates gases including carbon dioxide, but also substantial water vapor. At high altitudes, the temperature is much lower than on the ground, and water condenses and freezes. Depending on the altitude, wind, and the humidity of the air, contrails can persist for a few seconds or for many hours. When many contrails combine to form long-lasting clouds, they can affect the weather like any other cloud, except that they are higher in the atmosphere.
What is white residue on evaporation of jet fuel?
If you are referring to the expansive wisps of what appears to be long cirrus clouds that trail behind jet engines in flight, then you are talking about condensation trails, or contrails. These are caused by the water vapour, a by-product of exhaust, rapidly saturating the surrounding air. At high altitudes, these tiny water droplets condense and remain suspended as ice crystals. Contrails can also be caused by the wingtip vortices of heavy aircraft at low speeds travelling through a high relative humidity environment. Although these contrails usually occur much closer to the ground, and do not remain suspended for an extended period of time, as do the contrails caused by exhaust.
