Vapour Trail
Trail Ridge formed through a combination of tectonic uplift and glacial erosion. The Rocky Mountains were uplifted over millions of years, creating a high ridge. Glaciers then carved out a wide U-shaped valley, leaving behind the high, narrow ridge known as Trail Ridge.
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.
Yes, shooting stars do not have tails when they streak across the night sky. The glowing trail behind a shooting star is actually caused by the friction of the meteoroid burning up in the Earth's atmosphere.
When a spacecraft or object enters Earth's atmosphere, it is called reentry. During reentry, the intense heat generated by friction with the atmosphere can cause the object to ignite or create a fiery trail known as a "shooting star."
The Gila Trail was a complex of trails (not a single trail) running roughly parallel to the Gila River, south of the river, from the vicinity of Tucson to Yuma. The trail(s) probabaly originated with Native Americans, and was used by Spanish colonists and Mexicans, and later by people from the USA. Many forty-niners used the Gila trail as part of the "Southwest Trail" from El Paso to southern California. In 1849, land south of the Gila was still part of Mexico. It became US soil with the Gadsen Purchase. Gila trail is a trail that starts at Santa Fe and follows the Gila River to San Diego. The Gila Trail starts at Santa Fe and went to the Gila Mountain, then west to Santa Cruz River and go to Gila river follow it until you get to Colorado River then across deserts and then over mountains until you reach Pacific Ocean. There were many forts along the way.
Smoke trail is the trail of smoke left behind by an aircraft as it flies in the sky.
The white trail you see behind an airplane in the sky is called a contrail. It's an artificial cloud made by the exhaust of jet aircraft or from the wingtips.
Ice crystals of frozen exhaust particles.
The white trail is called a contrail which is short for condensation trail. The fumes that are emitted from the engines of planes contain a large amount of water vapours. When the plane is at a high altitude, the temperature can be low enough to freeze the water vapour into tiny crystals which we see as a white trail. The trail disappears when the water evaporates.
Another name for a plane vapor trail is a contrail, short for condensation trail. Contrails are formed when water vapor from the engine exhaust of an aircraft condenses into ice crystals due to the cold temperatures at high altitudes.
The white line left behind a plane is called a contrail, short for "condensation trail." It is formed when hot, moist engine exhaust mixes with cold air at high altitudes, causing the water vapor to condense and freeze into ice crystals.
the government is honeslty trying to posion us.. its called a chem trail.
The stream behind a jet is called a contrail. It is actually water vapor that condenses in the cold.
leaves behind a trail to himself...
A track in the sand is called a footprint or a trail. It is a mark left behind by a person or animal walking on the sand.
A pheromone scent trail.
If you are asking about contrails it is dependent on the temperatures aloft. At colder temperatures the water vapor in the exhaust condenses and causes the contrails you see. The blue angels and other aerobatic-performance aircraft inject a special oil "smoke oil" into their exhaust in order to leave the smoke trail you see at airshows. But the "smoke trail" you see behind civilian and commercial aircraft isn't smoke at all, it is water vapor formed as described above.
