Most commercial flights fly at 38,000 feet, above the Class B maximum height and there is not a specific limit imposed. British Airways' Chief Pilot Captain Al Bridger told MailOnline Travel that aviation industry speed limits differ from aircraft to aircraft.
What Causes Seasons on Earth? Seasons happen because Earth's axis is tilted at an angle of about 23.4 degrees and different parts of Earth receive more solar energy than others. Earth's orbit around the Sun is elliptical. Seasons are caused by Earth's axial tilt and temperatures and nature's processes are affected. Because of Earth's axial tilt (obliquity), our planet orbits the Sun on a slant which means different areas of Earth point toward or away from the Sun at different times of the year. Around the June solstice, the North Pole is tilted toward the Sun and the Northern Hemisphere gets more of the Sun's direct rays.
What causes seasons? Perigee and Apogee. Like the Earth's orbit around the Sun, the Moon's path around the Earth is elliptical. The point in the Moon's orbit that is closest to the Earth is called the Perigee and the point farthest from the Earth is known as the Apogee. The terms are also sometimes used interchangeably with the Earth's Perihelion and Aphelion.
