Yes, very small ones. Airplanes leave contrails at high altitude. This is actually a small cloud formed by the effect of the aircraft disturbing the air. But an airplane does not create the large clouds that you see in the sky.

Yes, airplanes can create clouds under specific conditions. These clouds, known as contrails, form when hot, humid exhaust gases from the aircraft mix with cold air at high altitudes. The water vapor in the exhaust condenses and freezes into ice crystals, forming visible trails behind the aircraft.

∙ 14y agoThey dont have to, but the beauty of flying is that you can essentially move from one place to another in a straight line. This cuts travel time and saves fuel. Circumnavigating weather or clouds will be impractical since airplanes now are equipped with navigation and awareness instruments that allow it to do so safely. The name of this group of equipment is avionics. You may want to try it one day . Good luck

Why was the sky blue when airplanes not flying is the constant haze caused by airplanes not clouds?
The sky appears blue due to Rayleigh scattering, where shorter blue wavelengths of light are scattered more than other colors by molecules in the Earth's atmosphere. This scattering effect is present regardless of whether airplanes are flying or not. Airplane contrails can contribute to haze under certain atmospheric conditions, but they are not the primary reason for the sky's blue color.
What weather can make clouds last for several days?
A Low Pressure System allows clouds to form. It is possible that the clouds can stick around for several days in this type of system.
Large clouds of gas and dust that make stars are what?
nebulas
What is another name for low clouds?
Fog When the clouds suck up the water from seas, rivers, lakes. etc, they make the clouds heavy. If the clouds do not start raining, there will be fog. Definition: Fog is thick mist that is difficult to see through.
What are some examples of the stratosphere?
The stratosphere is a layer of Earth's atmosphere between the troposphere and mesosphere. Examples of phenomena found in the stratosphere include the ozone layer, which helps protect Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation, as well as the presence of high-altitude clouds called noctilucent clouds. Commercial airplanes often fly in the lower stratosphere due to its stability and lack of turbulence.
When airplanes spray substances into the air to cause clouds to form it is called?
Cloud seeding.
Does Airbus make Airplanes or Cars?
Airplanes.
Why are airplanes leaving trails of a white substance in the skies around the world that last for hours and seem to form clouds?
Because those trails are clouds. The airplane's wing sheds low pressure vortexes from their tips, the low pressure encourages condensation of water vapor to form the small droplets of water that make up clouds. The airplane's jet engines emit lots of water vapor in their exhaust. Often at the very cold temperatures where these airplanes fly (above 30,000 feet) the water droplets in these clouds freeze, becoming ice and making the clouds last much longer.
What can you infer about the height at which jet airplanes fly based on the fact that their con trails form cirrus clouds?
Airplane's contrails do not form clouds; they dissipate soon after they are formed.
What is the name of the clouds that airplanes make when they release water into the atmosphere?
Airplanes do not release water into the atmosphere. Those cloudlike trails that you see following aircraft are called "contrails" and they are caused by the agitation of the air by the aircraft passing through it, causing water molecules suspended in the air to collide and join to create droplets.
How cirrus clouds form?
CIRRUS CLOUDS FORM IN THE SKY with all the other clouds.they also form when water vapor freezes into ice crystals. because of the high altitude these clouds live in airplanes leave a trail of condensationwhich turns into a cirrus cloud
Are airplanes made in the US?
Some airplanes are made in the US, but not all. there are several other countries int he World that can make airplanes too.
What can you infer about the height jet airplanes fly based on the fact that their contrails form cirrus clouds?
The fact that jet airplanes' contrails form cirrus clouds suggests that they fly at altitudes where the temperature and humidity are conducive to contrail formation, typically above 20,000 feet. This indicates that jet airplanes generally fly at high altitudes, where the air is colder and less dense, allowing contrails to persist and spread out into cirrus clouds.
What do flight engineers do?
make airplanes
Why was Boeing started?
To make airplanes.
What are two kinds of clouds made by humans?
Two kinds of clouds made by humans are contrails, which form behind airplanes as a result of water vapor in the aircraft exhaust condensing, and pyrocumulus clouds, which form above large wildfires due to the intense heat convection caused by the fire.
What clouds make a dark day?
rain clouds
