Study Notes
- The vapor trails created by airplanes and rockets are "lines of water vapor condensed in the air by a plane or rocket at high altitude."
- The vapor trails dissipate quickly depending on the atmospheric conditions.
- If the atmosphere is close to saturation, the trails can remain visible for a long time.
- On the other hand, if the atmosphere is dry, the trails dissipate quickly.
- The trails can have a lateral extent of several kilometers and, given enough air traffic, can create a completely cloudy sky that increases the cost of ice for the individual trails and persists for hours.
