Jupiter is perpetually covered with clouds composed of ammonia crystals and possibly ammonium hydrosulfide. The clouds are located in the tropopause and are arranged into bands of different latitudes, known as tropical regions. These are sub-divided into lighter-hued zones and darker belts

Jupiter's stripy appearance?

Jupiter appears to have stripes due to to cloud bands on its gaseous surface. The cloud bands are seen to be dark and light due to a process called convection. In this process, the cloud bands rise when they are warm because hot air rises. When they rise, they are lighter in color. As they cool, they begin to sink and become darker in color. Once they have sunk and are closer to Jupiter's internal heat source, they heat up and rise again and the cycle continues. This process is very similar to other convection processes, such as boiling water.
