JordanYes, 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.
They 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.
