Turbulence in airplanes refers to sudden and irregular changes in airflow that can cause the aircraft to experience shaking or jolting movements. It’s often caused by atmospheric conditions, such as changes in air pressure, temperature, or wind speed. Pilots are trained to handle turbulence, and modern aircraft are designed to withstand these conditions for passenger safety.
