Jet Stream

Real World Example

Imagine you're on a busy highway, stuck in traffic, trying to get to a destination on time. Just as a clear express lane can help you speed past the congestion, the jet stream acts as a fast-moving "express lane" for air currents between the troposphere and the stratosphere. This band of high-speed wind allows weather systems and airplanes to move more quickly across the planet, much like how an express lane allows cars to bypass traffic and reach their destination faster.
