Passenger airplanes take off in the troposphere but can eventually move into

the stratosphere. The planes may remain in the stratosphere until it is time to
land. Why do you think planes fly in the stratosphere?

it stays there bc there are turbulance which is in the troposphere. The air in the stratosphere has very little water vapor, so there are no interactions with the jet/plane.
