Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. It is also one of the gas giants. The atmosphere of Jupiter is composed of mostly hydrogen, and trace amounts of helium. This leads to a very extreme climate which includes many storms and temperatures of highs and lows. One of the most important features of Jupiter's climate is the Great Red Spot which is like a giant hurricane, but much more powerful and dangerous.

∙ 9y agoMost conditions vary on other planets. Planets are made of different materials, such as rock, plasma, or gas. The atmospheres are also different on other planets, most lacking oxygen. Earth is the only planet with a habitable atmosphere.

The orbit of Pluto is oddly ellongated, almost like a comets trail and rotates in the wrong direction. It varies from being closer to the sun than Neptune and deep into the Keiper belt. This planet would be completely uninhabitable.
Pluto is in the inner edges of the Keiper belt and is considered a dwarf planet by most astronomers. After the Keiper belt, our solar system ends. (but not our galaxy, the galaxy has 100's of other solar systems)

mars has dry ice snows and wons in a wile a dust storm that envelopes the hole planet
and filled with mini tornadoes called dust devils Jupiter has swirling colourful winds
Saturn has winds of up to 1000km per hour uranus is a bit windy and neptune has winds
going up to a staggering 20000km per hour(12000 miles)

Could other earth-like planets exist in the universe?
Maybe, although we haven't found any planets with life-supporting conditions on them yet.
What conditions would you look for if you were looking for life on moons or other planets besides earth?
Liquid water. All else is incidental.
How do we use the other planets?
what do you mean use other planets?
Does free-fall acceleration vary on other planets?
Yep. So would terminal velocity in free-fall. It would depend entirely on the gravity of the planet.
Does thunder appear on other planets?
no thunder does not appear in other planets
Why are scientist who are searching for life on other planets studying archaebacteria?
They live in conditions similar to those likely to be found on other planets.
What unique conditions are on Venus?
It's very hotter than the other planets.
Why cant the other planets of the solar system have the same exact life as you have on earth?
Because the other planets just don't have the right conditions for humans and animals
Why do things live on the other planets?
If you are asking why do things live on other planets, the answer is because life developed there under the proper conditions. Of course, then you have to ask what is considered life, what are your ideals as to why life comes into existence, and what proof do you have that it even exists on other planets.
Could other earth-like planets exist in the universe?
Maybe, although we haven't found any planets with life-supporting conditions on them yet.
Why doesn't earth's daily temperature vary as much as other planets?
It's because Earth has an atmosphere.
Can all planets support life?
It depends on the organisms. If the organism can live in harsh and brutal conditions than yes, planets can support life. The traits of the organisms depend on how it can live in other planets. Only the Sun can't support life.
Could microbes from earth be transferred to mars or other planets on the surface of probes sent to these planets?
Microbes from Earth can be transferred to Mars or other planets on the surface to these planets but the overall risk is very low. Due to the harsh conditions of space, most microbes will suffocate or die from the extreme temperatures long before they reach another planet.
Why is earth called a unique planets?
as far as we know it is the only planet that has water and life
What conditions would you look for if you were looking for life on moons or other planets besides earth?
Liquid water. All else is incidental.
What is the third planet closest to Earth?
The distances vary as the planets orbit the Sun. On average, the answer is Mercury.
How can you identify stars and planets?
Stars 'twinkle', planets do not. This is due to the proximity of planets, the light from which does not pass through so much dust and vary accordingly.
