Jupiter planet project

By cathal crofton
Jupiter is the fifth planet from our Sun and is, by far, the largest planet in the solar system – more than twice as massive as
all the other planets combined. Jupiter's stripes and swirls are actually cold, windy clouds of ammonia and water, floating in
an atmosphere of hydrogen and helium.

Auroras

Jupiter is best known for its colorful storms. But also has some of the most vivid auroras. Not only are the auroras bigger than
Earth, they are also hundreds of times more energetic than auroras on our home world. And, unlike those on Earth, they never
cease. On Earth the most intense auroras are caused by solar storms, but Jupiter generates its own. The strong magnetic field of
the gas giant grabs charged particles from its surroundings, including particles thrown into space by its orbiting moon Io, known for
its numerous and large volcanoes.
The Great Red Spot

The largest and most powerful hurricanes ever recorded on Earth spanned over 1,000 miles across with winds gusting up to
around 200 mph. That’s wide enough to stretch across nearly all U.S. states east of Texas. But even that kind of storm is
dwarfed by the Great Red Spot, a gigantic storm in Jupiter. There, gigantic means twice as wide as Earth. With tumultuous
winds peaking at about 400 mph, the Great Red Spot has been swirling wildly over Jupiter’s skies for the past 150 years—
maybe even much longer than that.
Pearls

Jupiter’s so-called ‘string of pearls’ on Jupiter is a series of massive counterclockwise rotating storms that appear as white
ovals in the gas giant's southern hemisphere. Since 1986, these white ovals have varied in number from six to nine.
 Stripes

Jupiter is called a gas giant planet. Its atmosphere is made up of mostly

hydrogen gas and helium gas, like the sun. The planet is covered in thick red,
brown, yellow and white clouds. The clouds make the planet look like it has
stripes. The reasons for the rich detail and colors and swirls of are currently
unknown.
