RE: Sky Ripples.

I'll try.

When travelling faster than the speed of sound, the rocket makes a shockwave as it hits the air in front of it - this shockwave is also where the sonic boom comes from.

The shockwaves spread out in a cone shape behind the rocket. When you see the clouds ripple, it's this cone shape of shockwaves passing through them.
