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.

Answer

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 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 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 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.


What do you see in the air?

In the air, I see clouds, birds, airplanes, and sometimes insects like bees and butterflies.


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
