Why is flying in the stratosphere considered relatively safe and smooth?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Turbulence and weather changes are less common there
Most clouds, storms, convection, and strong weather disturbances occur in the troposphere. The stratosphere above it is more stable because temperature generally increases with height, which suppresses vigorous vertical convection. This usually means less turbulence for aircraft operating in suitable parts of the layer, so option A is correct. Ships and soil are irrelevant, and gravity is still present; it does not disappear in the stratosphere.
