what is/causes airplane turbulence?

1.02K views

I know I could easily google this question myself but I’m worried that the answer might be something that causes me to be afraid of it when I experience it in the future. Much like when you’re sick and google your symptoms and it jumps to cancer, I don’t want to google this and learn that every time I’m in a turbulent plane I’m likely going to crash and die. So I thought if it’s explained to me like I’m 5, I’ll get a straightforward answer but one that also assures me that there is no need to be afraid of flying either.

My dad is into planes, and from what I understand, turbulence is just the plane shaking either from wind or from flying through an area of thin air.
