Why do planes fly above clouds?

Why do planes fly above clouds?


 Aeroplanes are powered, heavier-than-air aircraft with fixed wings. Most planes are flown above cloud level because there is not as much air resistance higher up in the atmosphere, so they use less fuel. There is also less turbulence above clouds, meaning passengers don't get thrown about so much and there is less demand for sick bags!


"RECORD BREAKER"



The largest passenger aircraft is the Airbus A380. It has a wingspan of 79.8 m (261.8 ft) and can carry 853 passengers.
