Why do you suppose that airplane windows are smaller than bus windows?
I suppose they're smaller because they have to endure harsh and extended periods of change in pressure that windows on a bus don't. I suppose that to make an airplane window as large as a bus window that could endure the pressures, the window would have to be made out of either a very heavy material, or a very expensive material, which in both cases would make them prohibitive for installing on an airplane.
Why you suppose that airplane windows are smaller than bus windows?
Airplanes are often pressurized. A large window would be excessively difficult and expensive to make it strong enough to not blow out. So they use small windows on airplanes.
What are the windows of airplane called?
The correct term for an airplane window is a porthole, the same as for a window on the side of a ship.

Why are plane windows smaller than bus windows?
Airplane windows are smaller than bus windows because the cabin where the people sit is pressurized. This pressurization keeps a high enough pressure so that people in the airplane don't need to use oxygen masks. However, this pressurization equals about 9.0 pounds per square inch (PSI). This 9 pounds per square inch is a pressure that pushes outward on all parts of the airplane cabin. On metal this is not a problem, but with windows, made of a material that can be seen through, it's beneficial to keep this pressure low so that the window won't crack. If you think about the average airline window, it's about 120 square inches (a size of about 12 inches by 10 inches), and if each inch has 9 pounds of pressure pushing out on it, that equals (120 x 9 = 1080) 1,080 pounds of pressure on that one window. That's over half a ton! So, with a much larger window, like in a bus, that pressure would be too great and the window would shatter and blow out, making it very drafty inside the airplane! I hope this helps.
Why are airplane windows smaller than bus windows?
Aircraft are pressurized so that they can fly higher without the need for passengers to wear oxygen masks. They are generally pressurized to 5-8 psi. The force on an aircraft window approx. 12" x 12" would be 720 - 1152 lbs. If they had a bus-sized window (about 4 feet x 4 feet), the force on the window would be 11,520 - 18000 lbs.

This window helps the user to communicate with the application program. The smaller window, which is inside the Application window is called the document window. This window is used for typing, editing, drawing, and formatting the text and graphics
How many Window Procedures are there in a Windows program?
Every window in Windows has a Window Procedure.
Why aren't airplane windows placed higher up?
Airliner window placement is a design compromise; there's no reason they couldn't be placed higher. It's just that when the airplane was designed, the engineers placed them where they are. I suppose that the reason they're slightly lower than the average passenger's seated height is that most people are more interested in looking down at the ground passing below them, rather than the sky above them. ==And...== Could it also be that the lower the window, the better to look out and see downwards? The higher the window, the easier it would be to see upwards, but there's not as much to look at above.
What are the best options for installing finished basement windows to improve natural light and ventilation in a basement renovation project?
The best options for installing finished basement windows to improve natural light and ventilation in a basement renovation project include egress windows, window wells, and window inserts. Egress windows are larger windows that provide both light and a means of escape in case of emergency. Window wells can be added around the windows to allow more natural light to enter the basement. Window inserts are smaller windows that can be added to existing window openings to increase ventilation and light.
