Saturn is a source of intense radio emissions, which have been monitored by the Cassini spacecraft. The radio waves are closely related to the auroras near the poles of the planet. These auroras are similar to Earth's northern and southern lights. This is an audio file of radio emissions from Saturn.
The Cassini spacecraft began detecting these radio emissions in April 2002, when Cassini was 374 million kilometers (234 million miles) from the planet, using the Cassini radio and plasma wave science instrument. The radio and plasma wave instrument has now provided the first high resolution observations of these emissions, showing an amazing array of variations in frequency and time. The complex radio spectrum with rising and falling tones, is very similar to Earth's auroral radio emissions. These structures indicate that there are numerous small radio sources moving along magnetic field lines threading the auroral region.
Time on this recording has been compressed, so that 73 seconds corresponds to 27 minutes. Since the frequencies of these emissions are well above the audio frequency range, we have shifted them downward by a factor of 44.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter was designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The radio and plasma wave science team is based at the University of Iowa, Iowa City.
The question was about Jupiter. The answer is YES.
Yes, radio waves do come from Jupiter. Jupiter emits intense radio waves from its magnetic field that interact with its surrounding environment. These emissions are primarily caused by the interaction between Jupiter's strong magnetic field and its moon Io.
How are radio waves formed?
Radio Waves.
The electromagnetic waves native to Saturn are intense radio waves. In addition there are known to have changing frequencies which are detected by a Cassini wave instrument.
The electromagnetic waves with the longest wavelength are called "radio waves". There is no limit to how long the wavelengths can be.
The monitoring device is a radio transmitter that sends signals to the radio transmitter. Radio waves are a type of Electromagnetic waves.

They come out of a transmitter, usually through an antenna system.
no, mechanical waves are not radio waves
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
Radio waves ARE electromagnetic waves.
No. Radar waves are one category of radio waves. Think of all the radio waves that are all around you right now . . . AM radio, FM radio, police and fire radio, highway patrol radio, taxi radio, television picture and sound radio waves, cellphone radio waves, garage-door-opener radio waves, bluetooth radio waves, WiFi waves, microwaves ... and you can't see any of them ! Radar waves can easily be there in the group.
by changing the amplitude or frequency of the radio waves.
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves occurring on the radio frequency portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Radio waves are generated through a cyclotron maser mechanism, and the energy is transmitted out along a cone-shaped surface. When the Earth intersects this cone, the radio emissions from Jupiter can exceed the solar radio output.
How are radio waves formed?
No. Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic waves; electroctromagnetic waves are transverse waves.
