At some point in or lives we will get on an aeroplane to fly to a place which is too far to drive/take a train to. Some of you might even have flown during these holidays. Sometimes when an aeroplane passes above us in the sky, we can see a trail of cloud behind the plane. This trail lingers behind even after the aeroplane has gone. Have you ever wondered what causes that trail? How does it effect the Earth’s atmosphere?
