[00:00:00]Ever been on a plane and suddenly [music] it starts shaking and you think is something wrong?

[00:00:05]That shaking [music] is called turbulence and it's just moving air.

[00:00:09]Planes are flying through invisible air bumps in the sky.

[00:00:12]One major cause [music] is storm clouds, especially powerful ones like cumulonimbus clouds. Inside them, air moves up and down like an invisible roller coaster. Another cause is something [music] called the jet stream, a super fast river of air high in the atmosphere that can suddenly push the plane. And sometimes there are no clouds at all.

[00:00:30]>> [music] >> This is called clear air turbulence and pilots can't even see it coming.

[00:00:35]But here's the truth. Planes like the Boeing 787 are built to handle much stronger forces than turbulence. So it feels scary, [music] but it's usually completely safe.
