Jupiter, the largest planet of the Solar System. Its diameter is 10 times more than the Earth which is about 142,800 km. Its mass is about 1.90 × 1027 kg which is 300 times than the Earth’s. As a matter of fact, the mass of Jupiter is almost one-thousandth of the Sun but two and a half that all of the other planets combined in the Solar System.

Jupiter is a gas planet which is made from gas. It doesn’t have any rocky surface like the Earth. Its atmosphere gets thicker and thicker when we go deeper into the planet. As it is big enough so that it can capture and hold all the gas. While the Earth has a rocky surface with an atmosphere, as it is not massive enough to hold the lightest gases like hydrogen and helium gas. These gases may escape …show more content…

It was arranged into bands of different latitude known as tropical region. These are sub-divided into lighter-hued zones and darker belts. The interactions between causes storms and turbulence. The wind speed is about 360km/h in zonal jets. The cloud layer is only about 50km deep. The three layers are act as an evidence by flashes of lightening detected in the atmosphere of Jupiter. This is caused by water’s polarity, which make it capable of creating the charge separation needed to produce lightening. These electrical charges can be up to thousand times as powerful as the lightening on earth. By the rising of heat from the interior the water crystal clouds can be formed to be thunderstorm. The visible clouds are very colorful, there are yellow, red and brown in colors. The clouds of Jupiter in orange and brown in color are caused by upward flow of compounds change the color whey the exposed to ultraviolet light from the Sun. However, the exact causes of these colors are still remain uncertain. Contaminated by various polymers of sulfur (S3, S4, S5 and S8), which are yellow, red and brown. And also phosphorus or hydrocarbon. These colorful compounds are known as chromophores, mix with the warmer, lower deck of clouds. Moreover, Jupiter’s low axial tilt means that the planet equatorial region …show more content…

It is larger than the Earth, although its color has brightened and faded the spot has been for at least 162.5 years. The GRS rotates counter-clockwise with about six Earth says or fourteen Jupiter day. Its dimension is about 24,000 - 40,000 km east to west and 12,000 – 14,000 km north to south. The spot is big enough to hold two to three Earth size planet. Infrared data has indicated that the GRS is colder and higher in altitude. The spot is restricted by a modest eastward jet stream to its southward and strong westward to its north. Winds around the spot peak is about 430km/h, currents inside are stagnant with little inflow or outflow. The rotation period of the spot has been slower down with time maybe as a result of reducing its size. The GRS’s latitude has been stable for the duration of good observation, however it is varying by its longitude. Because Jupiter does not rotate at all latitude so that it has been defined as three different systems for defining the longitude. System II is used for latitude of more than 10∘and it is based on the average rotation rate of the GRS of 9h 55m 42s. However, the spot has lapped the planet in System II at least 10 time since the early nineteenth century. Its drift rate has changed dramatically over the years’ hand has been linked to the brightness of South Equatorial Belt and the presence and absence of South Tropical Disturbance. The
