Sure thing! Imagine you're on a roller coaster, cruising along smoothly, when suddenly you hit a bump. That jolt you feel? That's kind of like airplane turbulence, but in the air.
See, when you're flying, the plane moves through different pockets of air, just like a boat on water. Sometimes, these pockets are super smooth, and other times, they're a bit bumpy.
Turbulence happens when the plane encounters these bumpy patches of air. It can feel like a little shake or a gentle rocking motion. Just like bumps in the road, it's totally normal and usually nothing to worry about. Pilots are trained to handle it, and planes are designed to withstand it.
So, next time you feel turbulence, just think of it as Mother Nature giving the plane a little shake, like a gentle reminder that you're soaring through her skies.
