Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Jupiter's
giant red storm makes its atmosphere hotter than molten lava
The great red
spot in Jupiter. You might recall it in a picture of the largest planet in our
solar system, just like a ring of Saturn. In fact, this red spot is a gigantic
storm that is three times larger than the size of our planet. It is so huge
that it takes as long as six days to complete a spin.
New studies
found that the storm stirs up the gas for hundreds of years and heat the
atmosphere above it to 1,000 degrees Celsius. How can a storm in such a distant
planet from the Sun generates heat like that?
Enjoy reading
and learning about this familiar but unknown red spot in Jupiter.
