Why are airplanes white?


  Ever watched a plane passing in the sky and wondered why are they white in colour? Here's the answer...

  Planes have to fly high in the sky above clouds where the intensity of sunlight is more. This leads to warming up of objects with dark colours as dark colours absorb more heat. To avoid this, airplanes are white in colour. Thus airplanes do not heat up dangerously.

  Secondly, spotting cracks, rusts, etc. is easy in white colour. Thus airplanes are white. Third and lastly, all the colours have specific weight in paints. White is the lightest and thus it is used.

  Hope so you now know the reason.
