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.

What do you call the long streams jet planes leave in the sky?

Contrails (short for "condensation trails") or vapour trails are artificial clouds that are the visible trails of condensed water vapour made by the exhaust of aircraft engines. As the hot exhaust gases cool in the surrounding air they may precipitate a cloud of microscopic water droplets. If the air is cold enough, this trail will comprise tiny ice crystals.

Do jet streams count as clouds?

well realy no, because its not realy a cloud, it is the smoke coming out of the jet, not a cloud actually a jet stream is a wind current in the upper atmosphere that commercial aircraft use to travle faster. The clooud-like trail behind jets are called contrails and would be considered clouds because it is when the heat causes moisture to gather into small clouds... like how warm breath can fog a mirror.

Are the planes that leave trails in the sky b-52?

Almost all aircraft flying in the high, cold sky leave contrails. These are trails of hot air from engines running in very cold air. In World War 2 the bombers going up high in early mornings left very visible trails.
