Why we should care about airplane contrails and their impact on the climate
Condensation trails or contrails — the white, feathery lines behind airplanes — could have as big an impact on the climate as the aviation sector's CO2 emissions. Here's why and what we can do mitigate the effects.

LOOK: The beautiful cloud formation spotted yesterday above Cebu City. Called “Contrail cirrus clouds” are thin, wispy clouds that form when jet and airplane contrails spread out and persist in the sky. Here’s what that means: ✈️ A normal contrail forms behind a plane/kets from frozen water vapor (ice crystals). ☁️ If the air is cold and humid enough, that contrail doesn’t disappear. 🌬️ Wind and turbulence spread it out over time and formed feather like shape clouds ➡️ It begins to look just li

Spot a plane overhead? Look out for contrails! short for "condensation trails." They're basically clouds made by airplane engines. Just like how you see your breath on a cold day, contrails form when water vapor in the exhaust condenses in the cold air high up. So next time you see airplane contrails, think of them as high-altitude clouds made for a short moment. . . . #contrail #aviation #aircraft #aviationdaily #pilot #pilotview #sky #didyouknow #reelsindia #reels #trending #fypシ #fyp #Explore
