jupiter has a red spot on it that is a storm it is located in the southern hemisphere and varying from c.15,600 to 25,000 mi (25,000 to 40,000 km) in one direction and 7,500 to 10,000 mi (12,000 to 16,000 km) in the other, the storm rotates counterclockwise and has been observed ever since 1664

largest planet

outer planet

jupiter has no solid surface since it is a gas giant so it has no surface temperature

the core of jupiter is hotter than the surface o the sun jupiter's core is approximately 24,000°C

at the top of jupiter's clouds the temperature is -145°C

as you descend closer to the center of the planet the temperature increases to 21°C

third brightest objest in the night sky

greeks discovered it
