What are feathery high clouds?
Feathery high clouds are cirrus clouds, which are the highest clouds in the atmosphere and typically have a wispy, thin appearance. They are composed mostly of ice crystals and can indicate fair weather or the approach of a warm front.
How long does a jet white trail last?
Commonly known as a contrail (condensation trail), the white vaporous trail that is visible coming out of jet aircraft is a result of three concurrent events: 1. Hot jet exhaust cooling as it exits the jet engine. 2. Atmospheric moisture (humidity. 3. Particulate matter as residue from the burning of the jet fuel. As the jet exhaust cools, water molecules condense on the minute particles of carbon in the exhaust forming water droplets and visible vapor, which appears as the white trail behind the jet. The length of the trail generally is determined by the relative amount of atmospheric moisture (humidity) present in the plane's path. The more humidity, the longer the contrail, and conversely, the less humidity, the shorter the contrail. As time passes, the contrail disperses. Wind speed at that altitude can affect how long the contrail is visible. More wind will disperse the contrail more quickly.
What word describes high thin wispy clouds?
The most usual form of high-level clouds are thin and often wispy CIRRUS clouds. Cirrus clouds are usually found at heights greater than 20,000 feet. Cirrus clouds are composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets.
What are the names of clouds in each cloud level?
Noctilucent clouds are the highest and least understood. Cirrus and cirrostratus are the high-type clouds. Any high cloud will have the prefix "cirr".
What are high grayish clouds called?
the clouds that bring rain are usally cumulonimbus clouds
What type of weather do contrail clouds bring?
it bring the rain
What forms contrail clouds?
Contrails are formed from the moisture in the exhaust of an airplane. The moisture condenses or crystallizes to form a visible cloud.
How does a jetliner contrail move sideways at the same rate as clouds are moving while the plane appears to be unaffected by the wind and stays at the front of the contrail?
The jetliner's engine/power keeps it on the desired direction of the flight. That engine/power is designed to be stronger than the winds (most of the time :) and thus the jetliner will look unaffected by them. The contrail on the other hand, once released, is free in the air without any inner force to give it a direction. Therefore the contrail will follow the wind's direction as do the clouds in its vicinity.
How are planes' contrail lines similar to clouds?
Both are mainly composed of droplets of condensed water.
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.
When you see a jet contrail should you hear its sound coming from a spot on its contrail where it was 40 seconds ago?
contrails are water molecules at high altitude due to condensation.
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.
How do you use the word contrail in a sentence?
The high flying jets left long contrails marking their paths through the sky.
What can you infer about the height jet airplanes fly based on the fact that their contrails form cirrus clouds?
The fact that jet airplanes' contrails form cirrus clouds suggests that they fly at altitudes where the temperature and humidity are conducive to contrail formation, typically above 20,000 feet. This indicates that jet airplanes generally fly at high altitudes, where the air is colder and less dense, allowing contrails to persist and spread out into cirrus clouds.
What has the author Patrick Minnis written?
Patrick Minnis has written: 'Surface-based observations of contrail occurrence over the U.S' 'Surface-based observations of contrail occurrence over the U.S., April 1993-April 1994' -- subject(s): Contrails, Diurnal variations, Cirrus clouds
What causes the contrail of a jet airplane?
The heat of the compressed air from the aircraft engine via the engine's exhaust heats the water vapor in the air (air is cooler in the atmosphere) making condensation in the form of a cloud, for the cloud info type in: How do clouds form? If you just need info on the contrails just add on how clouds form onto the contrail. Hope that helps.

When was High in the Clouds created?
High in the Clouds was created in 2005.
