It’s an honest question, so as to dispel all the chemtrail conspiracy theories.

Where does all the exhaust from 200 metric meters of fuel go? I don’t understand, and just asking an honest question.

Where are you getting this notion that the 737 carries 200 or 250 tons of fuel? The only aircraft that might carry that much would be the A380. The 737-700’s fuel capacity is more like 41 tons (Imperial tons). The 737’s empty weight is only about 83,000 pounds, so it’s definitely not lifting a half-million pounds of fuel, plus the weight of the passengers and luggage. The only aircraft with max gross weights in that realm are wide body heavies.

Sinister chemtrail conspiracy theories do not need to be dispelled because anyone that believes those fluffy swirling lines are anything but vapor from jet fuel combustion will not listen to us attempting to set them straight.

Where does all the exhaust from 200 metric meters of fuel go? I don’t understand, and just asking an honest question.

Jet
1. a stream of a liquid, gas, or small solid particles forcefully shooting forth from a nozzle, orifice, etc.
2. something that issues in such a stream, as water or gas.
3. a spout or nozzle for emitting liquid or gas:

Air goes into the front intake scoop, mixes with the jet fuel, is ignited and shoots straight out of the back as hot exhaust through the nozzle.

In this photo the nozzle was blown off. I hope you know that not all of the fuel is used all at once. Your question, "(w)here does all the exhaust from 200 metric meters of fuel go" makes it seem as if you may not understand that the fuel is consumed gradually just the way your automobile consumes fuel for the whole length of the trip.
