　　Have you ever wondered?

　　Why do airplanes take longer to fly west than east?

　　It can take five hours to go west-east from New York (NY) to London but seven hours to travel east-west from London to NY . The reason for the difference is an atmospheric phenomenon known as the jet（喷射）stream. The jet stream is a very high altitude wind which always blows from the west to the east across the Atlantic. The planes moving at a constant air speed thus go faster in the west-east direction when they are moving with the wind than in the opposite direction.
