The planet Jupiter is known for its Great Red Spot, a giant storm in its atmosphere. It's so big that three earths could fit inside it!. Also Jupiter has clouds that can move up to speeds of 300 miles per hour. Jupiter's atmosphere is like a bubbling pot of paints that swirl but don't mix. On Jupiter, lightning is always flashing. Jupiter is also known because it is the biggest planet in our Solar System. Another known fact is that Jupiter is 2 1/2 times heavier than all the planets put together.
The planet Jupiter is named for the supreme "sky father" of the classic Roman pantheon of Gods. He is known for protecting the Roman state (and its laws), for being the god of light and of the sky, and for marrying his own mum.
