What is air turbulence?
The term air turbulence is commonly used in the field of aviation. Air turbulence is a phenomenon that every pilot wants to avoid. This is a very bad experience for every air passenger. Turbulence is actually a sudden change in pressure and speed in an air stream. This causes a shock to the plane. The plane starts moving, which is called plane shake. The disturbance may result in moderate to strong gusts. Its consequences can be very dire. Turbulence can be divided into three categories based on wind stability: mild, moderate and very severe.
