It's amazing to think how Jupiter got its name. The ancient Romans most powerful god, was named Jupiter. They believed he ruled the heavens. In one way, the planet Jupiter also rules the Solar System.
It is bigger than all the other planets combined! Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun. So, if you travel to Jupiter, you would travel away from the sun. As you get closer to this beautiful planet, you will see the planet covered in orange, brown, and white stripes. These stripes are actually made from icy clouds. The clouds are different colors because they are made from different types of gasses.The size of Jupiter is incredible.
1,400 Earths can fit inside it. If Jupiter was the size of a soccer ball, then Earth would be the size of a marble. Saturn is the second largest planet in the Solar System, then Uranus, then Neptune, then Earth, then Venus, then Mars, and last Mercury. Even though Jupiter is so massive it rotates faster than Earth, which is the third closest planet to the Sun. Finally, you should know that Jupiter is the best planet in the Solar System.

The Great Red Spot has lasted for more than 300 years. Little Red Spot is smaller but it's still severe. It's incredible to know that the winds on Jupiter reach up to 400 mph. Experts found out that The Great Red Spot is twice as big as Earth. Some day those two storms are going to join together and make one big storm because they get closer and closer each day.
