How do convection currents help gliders to stay up in the sky?
Convection currents provide rising warm air that can lift gliders to higher altitudes. Gliders can ride these currents by circling within them, allowing them to gain altitude without using engine power. This is a key technique used by glider pilots to stay aloft for extended periods of time.

How does a glider keep up in the sky?
Gliders have a shape of wings that give them lift as long as they are moving forward.A Glider however (Assuming it has no motor), cannot (even in the most ideal situations) exceed the height it was released from.Wrong. Many gliders are pulled to a height by another airplane or even a car or launched into the air from a hill and the climb higher. Gliders catch turmals of rising air. The rising air causes the air to flow over the wings even while the glider's nose is pointed into a climb.Check out the world's altitude record for a glider. The record is about 52,000 feet. This occurs in the Rockie Mountains where the air flowing over the mountains during the late winter. These gliders are NOT released from that altitude.
What is the name of A vessel powered by 1 or more engines using thermal energy?
