Eli5: How is the smoke from the wildfires able to travel so far without disappearing?

358 views

(Might be wrong flair) Smoke from smaller campfires, house fires, etc go away after a while. Even though there is so much more smoke from the wildfires, how is it still able to travel across multiple states without going away?

Edit: Dissipate, not dissappear

It creates a lot more particles then a normal fire. Heck there were haze issues last year just from wind and the sahara desert all the way over in kansas city https://amp.kansascity.com/news/weather-news/article262581892.html
