It takes the planet every 9 hours and 55 minutes to turn on its axis(轴) once. Jupiter goes around the Sun once every 11.8 Earth years.Jupiter has special cloud features. The high atmosphere(大气) of Jupiter is divided into cloud belts and zones. The Great Red Spot is a huge storm ...

Jupiter's atmosphere is rotating differentially, with zones and belts rotating at speeds that differ by up to 100 metres per second. Whether this is also true of the gas giant's interior has been unknown, limiting our ability to probe the structure and composition of the planet. The ...
The apparition was remarkable for the bizarre pattern of belts and zones. These dramatic changes developed within less than a year and created a strange and colourful picture, quite unlike the familiar banded and largely colourless planet of the previous apparition. The SEB almost completely disappea...
The results from Juno also suggest that the belts and zones roughly 40 miles (65 kilometers) underneath Jupiter’s belts are brighter in microwave energy than the nearby zones. However, the converse is true at deeper depths, under the water clouds, revealing a likeness to our oceans.POLAR...
Spectral reflectivities and high spatial resolution limb-darkening curves for several belts and zones have been extracted from the data. Simple model fits to the data yield information regarding spectral and spatial variations in single-scattering albedos and shape of particle single-scattering phase ...
Jupiter has many bands of clouds going horizontally across its surface. The light parts are zones and the darker are belts. Most of the clouds are made of ammonia . The zones and belts often interact with each other , this causes huge storms. Wind speeds of 220 miles per hour are common...
"Jupiter from the poles doesn't look anything like it does from the equator (with) zones and belts, the Great Red Spot," Bolton said, referring to a titanic storm system that has raged for centuries. "That's the Jupiter we've all known and grown to love. And when you look from the...
"Water absorbs microwaves," Bagenal said. "What we're going to do is look at the microwaves coming out at six different spectral bands. As we go over the belts and zones, we'll see how much is absorbed, and we intend to map out the amount of water in the planet." ...
In the zones, the lower ammonia abundances are found down to pressures of 1 bar. Deeper into the Jovian atmosphere, at pressures ≥2.2 bar, the gas is overabundant relative to the solar value by nearly a factor of 2 in both zones and belts. The altitude distribution of the ammonia gas ...
