Why do airplanes need to be pressurized for passenger safety when flying high in the atmosphere?
An airliner might fly at 36,000 feet above sea level, which is a mile higher than the summit of Mount Everest. The air is so thin at this altitude that you'd pass out in 20-30 seconds from a lack of oxygen if the airplane were not pressurized. The only way to get around that is to either make passengers wear oxygen masks or pressurize the airplane so that the air is about as thick as it is on the ground. Most people aren't keen on wearing oxygen masks, so pressurization is the usual choice today.
When up in the altitude, atmospheric pressure goes down. In order to breathe in that altitude the cabin has to pressurized.

Do airplanes fly over hurricanes?
No, airplanes do not fly over hurricanes. Pilots and airlines have strict safety protocols in place to avoid flying through or over severe weather conditions like hurricanes to ensure the safety of passengers and crew.
What layer of the earth is at 40000 feet altitude?
When you're above the surface you are dealing with layers of the atmosphere, not layers of the Earth. At 40,000 feet you will be either in the upper troposphere or the lower stratosphere depending or you latitude.
Which part of the atmosphere did the SR-71 fly in?
The SR-71, also known as the Blackbird, flew in the stratosphere, which is the second major layer of Earth's atmosphere. This high-flying aircraft operated at altitudes between 80,000 and 85,000 feet, allowing it to travel at speeds exceeding Mach 3.
Which human activities depend on the atmosphere?
Human activities such as breathing (respiration), transportation (air travel), agriculture (pollination), and communication (radio transmissions) all depend on the atmosphere for various reasons like providing oxygen, facilitating movement of vehicles, supporting plant growth, and enabling the transmission of signals.
What prevents the atmosphere from flying off into space?
The force of gravity exerted by Earth's mass prevents the atmosphere from flying off into space. Gravity holds the gases of the atmosphere close to Earth's surface, creating a balance that keeps the atmosphere in place.
Why do people choose to drink tomato juice specifically while flying on airplanes?
People choose to drink tomato juice while flying on airplanes because the taste of tomato juice changes at high altitudes due to the pressurized cabin environment, making it more enjoyable for some people.
What were airplanes built for?

When did people start flying in airplanes?
In 1903.
Which layer of atmosphere is ideal for flying aeroplanes?
The stratosphere is the ideal layer of the atmosphere for flying airplanes due to its stability and smooth air currents, which minimize turbulence and provide more efficient fuel consumption. In the stratosphere, the jet stream can also help increase the speed of the aircraft.
What are airplanes for?
for flying really, but they also can do the different tasks they are built to do(exp. a passenger planes carries people to a certain destination,a bomber planes drops bombs on a certain target etc.)
