Any kind of powered airplane can leave contrails under the proper condition. Rocket planes always leave contrails. Jets usually leave contrails but may not if the atmospheric conditions are not right. Even internal combustion engine planes can leave contrails if they operate at very high altitude and the atmospheric conditions are just right.

What are the streams that jet planes leave in the sky?

The streams that jet planes leave in the sky are called contrails. Contrails form when the hot, moist exhaust from the airplane engines mixes with the cold air at high altitudes, causing the water vapor to condense into ice crystals. Contrails can sometimes linger in the sky for a while, creating long white streaks behind the plane.
