Planes won't shake when travelling through any cloud. They shake when travelling through clouds that are formed by the movement of air, which is rising & condensing into cloud, & then it cools within the cloud & the air falls again. This movement in the air causes turbulance. However turbulant air doesn't always cause clouds to form.
An aircraft entering turbulance will rapidly pass through sections of rising & falling air virtually at the same time, & it will shake as a result.

Planes fly using lift which is created by the diffrent speeds of the air travelling over and below the wing.
Turbulance is caused by the weather which changes in the air pressure, there can be other external factors when your lower such as the terrain your flying over due to areas of lift. Huge colums of warm air can also come from factories and power plants, etc, the list is endless.
It can also come from planes just in front of you which create a wake in the air, some are so powerful there have been a few airliner crashes out down to this.
You can also get a shaking effect when coming into land, this is caused by the drag on the flap which are raised.

they suffer from turbulence which is generated by the cloud, in a nutshell most of the problems you will get from a CB cloud or thunderstorm in laymans terms, these clouds are formed by pockets of unstable air as the air rises it changes temp and them the dew point is reached and the water vapour is turned into liquid, as this happens it releases latern heat at around 540 calories, which further heat the air, as I'm sure you know that hot air rises, and as such it has to pull air from underneath to replace the rising air. this in effect gives your turbulence. It also will lift and drop the water in the cloud until they become to heavy for the up drafts to keep them in the cloud, as such you then get rain or hail if it is cold enough.
Hope that helps.

When an aircraft or any object passes through cloud, which is actually water vapour, it creates what is known as turbulance. This turbulance or buffetting as it is also known can be felt inside the aircraft, and gives the passengers a feeling that the plane is shaking, (which is what it is doing)

clouds are usually formed by air that is moving upward (it's called convection to be technical). When the aircraft enters into a cloud, it goes from air that is not moving to air that is going up. Turbulence. Air flows all over the place and in all directions. When it goes up, you frequently get clouds (and their associated turbulence), when it goes sideways you get wind.

Plane wings work by air flowing over and under them to create lift.
When it goes through a cloud, the density of the air greatly increases due to the water particles and the tempereture changes to that of the particles.

Planes fly because the difference in pressure above and below the wing balance the weight of the plane. Clouds are made of a mixture of water and air and the pressure inside them varies a lot from place to place. This makes the plane jump about.

its because of the air in the sky clouds is a formation of water droplets so theres an oxygen present and hydrogen but the cause i dont know hehe
