Why do clouds form after an airplane passes?

Is it because there are pollutants because it's a jet engine?

The cloud that occurs when an airplane passes is called an airplane cloud.
They say it's as below.

Microorganisms emitted from airplane engines become condensation nuclei, ice crystals nuclei, resulting in droplets or ice crystal clouds. Higher altitudes are associated with longer atmospheric conditions.
It is also called flight luck. Microorganisms in the exhaust gas of the engine become condensation nuclei or ice crystals nuclei, resulting in droplets or ice crystal clouds. Two rows of air clouds are formed in twin engines, and four rows of air clouds are formed in four engines. In addition, when flying in high-humidity air, aerodynamically decompression occurs, causing condensation, which may occur behind the wing. It usually disappears soon, but sometimes it can be seen for more than an hour. The higher the altitude (5-10 km), the longer it lasts, and the time to see the air cloud varies depending on the condition of the atmosphere.
