These shoot up or down from the sky and leave a trail of smoke. Are these meteors?

    The trails or the things leaving the trails? In either case I think they may be aircraft contrails, but I’m not sure going off the image alone.

      Thanks! That’s probably what they are especially because I live somewhat near an airport which would explain why I see them so often.

          I live ~20km away from it. It’s not like really close. Would they be far enough in the air for those to appear?

            Yes, absolutely. Most passenger planes will still be in an accelerated climb at that range.

              This is ‘nostupidquesstions’. Let’s maybe chill out on the shaming.

              Like literally? As far back as I can remember, but I think I’m missing something. Pretty sure your comment wasn’t meant as literal.

                He’s taking the piss, wondering why you are just now noticing and asking about what has been up there your whole life.

                  Ohhhhh that makes more sense. I’ve always seen the trail stuff in the sky for most of my life, just didn’t ever ask why that’s there and what made it. I’ve never been able to look closely enough to see what was causing the trail.

          As long as you apparently who also didn’t knew this according to yourself https://lemm.ee/comment/3880431 so stop shaming people for asking questions, especially if you don’t even know the answer to them.
