Jupiter appears as a bright white object in the night sky that slowly moves along the ecliptic, taking twelve years to circle the sky once. It's the most changeable planet visible in a telescope, displaying a constantly varying cloudscape as it rotates in less than ten hours. Jupiter's rapid rotation smears its brown cloud features into east-west stripes paralleling the equator. There are also stripes of light coloured zones. The most famous of its features is the great red spot. It is oval and measures approximately 40,000km long by 14,000km wide. There are other spots that can be seen, some look brown and some look white but these features do not stay in the same place for long. If you are after more resources on this subject check out your local library (Dewey number 520).

Does Jupiter and earth have similarities?

Only that they are planets with some of the biggest moons. Earth is solid, Jupiter is gaseous. Earth has no ring, but Jupiter has one that can barely be seen! Earth has one big moon (If a moon the same size orbits Jupiter, that moon is a great moon), while Jupiter has a ton of moons! Also, 1000 Earths can fit into a Jupiter.
