A jet is a type of engine on an airplane. Some airplanes have propellers - those without propellers have jet engines. Airplanes with jet engines are faster than airplanes with propellers. Often airplanes with jet engines are referred to as "jets."

Is it quicker by plane or train?

Over a long distance, a few hundred to several thousand miles, the plane is faster. Over a short distance, a few dozen to a few hundred miles, the train might be faster. The train station might be in the center of town, the airport is usually several miles away from town. Getting to an airport, going through security, waiting for other planes to take off and land, helps to make the airplane travel slower for shorter distances. Most of the time, plane travel is faster than the train, but, not always. It's a good idea to compare the two for specific distances, say NYC to Boston instead of just thinking planes are always the faster way to travel.
