Jupiter Storms
A group of scientists and astronomers at Cornell University in the United States analyzes the similarities between Jupiter's atmospheric storms and earth storms. The results indicate that Jupiter's storms behave similarly to some of the earth's storms, although those here and there have originated for other reasons.
The biggest storms occurring in the American plains occur in summer due to heat. When the earth's surface heats up a lot, the temperature difference between the air and the earth's surface condenses the air's steam, resulting in huge clouds. These clouds cause heavy rain and when they collide between them there are great storms. Something similar happens in giant storms that happen constantly in the atmosphere of Jupiter.
In this case, however, condensation occurs from the heat released by the core of the planet, leading to the most terrifying storms known. The clouds reach more than 30 kilometers of height, the wind speed is greater than 100 km/h and the rays are spectacular.
These kinds of storms can be seen at a glance in Jupiter's atmosphere, some as big as Earth. One of them is the well-known Red Spot of Jupiter.
