Jupiter's Great Red Spot isn't really a tornado, and actually has more in common with a hurricane. But, to answer the question, it is over 300 years old, possibly much older. It has been raging since at least the first time Jupiter was observed through a telescope. It is not known how long it was going on before that.

What is some important data about Jupiter?

Jupiter has a big red spot. It is not just any old spot though, it is some kind of on-going tornado. If you head directly to it & reach Jupiter's atmosphere, you will be sucked into the dot (or tornado) and probably die...


Is a 300 year old tornado still spinning on Jupiter?

Jupiter does have long-lasting storms, like the Great Red Spot which has been observed for centuries. However, tornadoes on Jupiter are typically short-lived compared to Earth due to the planet's atmospheric dynamics. So, it is unlikely that a tornado on Jupiter would last for 300 years.

It depends on how old you are when you go there (if you go there) and if you are born on Jupiter then it would matter when you where born and what year it was on Jupiter. But it will only matter if humans start habitating Jupiter. :)(:


Why is Jupiter's tornado bigger than Earth's?

For one thing, the storm on Jupiter, called the Great Red Spot, is not a tornado. It is more similar to the anticyclones and large scale storm systems on earth than it is to a tornado. Since Jupiter is much larger than earth, it can sustained much larger storm systems, in this case larger than earth itself. See Link Below
