Planes CAN fly lower over water, as water is flat. There are less things to collide with.
But usually they DON'T fly lower over water - unless they need to for some other reason, like spotting ships, oil spills or something.
At low altitude, the air is thicker and cause more drag, which increases fuel consumption. For longer hauls it's better to be up where air is thinner and easier to travel through.

What is something that happens over and over for planes?
Planes take off and land repeatedly during their flights, as they travel back and forth between destinations. Additionally, planes undergo routine maintenance checks and inspections to ensure they are safe to fly, which is a recurring process for all aircraft.
How do plains fly?
Planes fly by generating lift from the wings as they move through the air. This lift is created by the shape of the wings and the speed at which the plane is moving. Engines provide the necessary thrust to propel the plane forward.
If gravity pulls things down how come plans fly and not get puuled down?
Planes are able to fly because they generate lift by moving air over their wings through propulsion from engines. This lift force counteracts the force of gravity, allowing the plane to overcome the downward pull and stay in the air.
Do all planes have the same speed?
No, different planes have different speeds based on their design and intended use. Commercial airliners typically fly around 500-600 miles per hour, while military jets can exceed speeds of 1,000 miles per hour. Additionally, smaller propeller planes generally have lower speeds compared to larger jet aircraft.
How do planes fly upside down?
Planes can fly upside down by generating enough lift from their wings to counteract gravity. By adjusting the angle of the wings and using the engine power, pilots can maintain control and stability while flying inverted.

Why should you ditch a plane in the ocean during a hurricane?
You wouldn't. You could fly over it or through it. Weather planes fly all the time through hurricanes. That's how we know how powerful they are and have data from them.

How many planes fly over Ukraine daily?
The planes that fly over Ukraine daily depend on how many flights go out daily,and the delays and cancelations that occur daily.
What is the average altitude a helicopter may fly at?
Helicopters fly somewhat close to the ground. They fly near the troposphere. They fly at a lower altitude than planes.
