The Great Red Spot is an extremely large anticyclone on the surface of Jupiter. There is no consensus as to what causes the coloration of the storm, though some suggestions are red phosphorous, organic molecules, or a sulfur compound.

Jupiter has a core of metallic hydrogen approximately 41,870km in diameter that also features an elevation, or mountain some 3,400km high corresponding with the latitude and longitude of the Great Red Spot, such peaks cause turbulence in the Jovian atmosphere.
