Behold the largest storm in our solar system.
Despite its iconic color, researchers aren't entirely sure what causes the spot to appear red. Some researchers think it could be due to chemicals like ammonia in the upper part of the storm.
Though Jupiter is very different from Earth, the dynamics governing its storms are similar. Therefore, a better understanding of Jupiter's storms, including the Great Spot Red, could help scientists better understand the weather on Earth. called the Little Red Spot or Red Spot Jr., which formed between 1998 and 2000 from three white, oval-shaped storms. . Researchers think the reason for the heating is acoustic waves created by the extreme turbulence of the storm.
Rotating storms on Jupiter typically form from a much bigger weather system that condenses down into a distinct storm. Jupiter's alternating pattern of high-speed eastward and westward winds act to channel storms and confine them to a latitude band. In the case of the GRS, it almost"rolls" inside that wind channel.
