Because the majority of Jupiter's volume is its dense gaseous atmosphere, the planet has a "striped" appearance, the various latitudes appearing gray, brown and orange. Clouds circle the planet at very high speeds, up to 360 km/hr, and white "storms" spin off intermittently. The largest of these storms is a long-lived "red spot" as big as Earth. Barely a point of light without a telescope, the planet Jupiter looks golden-brownish through an amateur telescope.
