The Jovian atmospheric vortices are created by the coriolis effect and what?
Erinbarnett1
The rapid rotation of Jupiter causes a large Coriolis effect.
The Coriolis effect combined with high windspeeds causes the vortices.

What is a jovian planet?
It is believed planets form via accretion. However, due to the large size of Jovian planets, there would not be enough time for these to form via accretion. This presents the â??Jovian Problemâ?? which contends that since these type planets abound in planetary systems, there may be another way in which these planets may form.
Is is possible there are living organisms on Jupiter?
there is no way that life as we understand it could exist on the gas giant. the possibility of life within the Jovian system is still being explored. Some debate exists about Europa. Jupiter is completely inhospitable to life as we understand it, but its moon Europa has been proposed as a possible habitable zone. It is thought to have a large amount of water ICE on its surface. Some of which covers a proposed ocean of water slush. The conditions under the water ICE could be harboring microscopic life according to some scientists. Free floating organisms could only exist at the very tops of the clouds due to atmospheric pressure that is progressively more intense than anything seen on EARTH. While the cloud tops could harbor life that is resistant to solar radiation's atmosphere is in constant Chaos. Convection forces the lower atmosphere upwards and colder areas of the atmosphere are constantly being sucked closer to the core. The churning would eventually expose any organisms to the extreme pressures nearer the core,thus killing any that may develop.
What type of lithosphere does Jupiter have?
This gas giant contains most of the mass in the Solar System aside from that of the Sun itself. Most of this is hydrogen and helium, including tri-helium which is valuable for fusion reactors. A small percentage, but a giant absolute quantity, consists of heavy metals in the lithosphere. This lithosphere is small compared to Jupiter's diameter, but is probably bigger than the whole Earth. Unfortunately, the lithosphere is deep beneath the Jovian atmospheric surface, and exists under conditions of heat and pressure so great that no materials we can currently create would survive for more than instants on its surface. Perhaps several centuries from now we will be able to build machines capable of operating under such extreme conditions. In the meantime, suffice it to say that any culture which could solve the many problems of living on or in Jupiter would have more matter to exploit than the whole rest of the Solar System (again not counting the Sun itself) put together.

What form is mars water gas liquid or ice?
Mars is a solid rocky planet with a red color from the large amount of iron oxide on its surface. That is why NASA has been able to land unmanned landers there. Do not listen to me. I'm a liar.
What is the characteristic of an outer planet?
The outer planets, or jovian planets, AKA the gas giants are what they say they are. Made of gas with a solid core, these giants orbit the sun outside of the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. The are all cold and despite seeming blue, Neptune (or any of the others for that matter) has no water.

Can you describe the surface of the Jovian planets?
The Jovian planets are gas giants and have no surface.
What jovian planet is closest to the sun?

Is Uranus a terrestrial or Jovian planet?

Why isn't Jupiter classified as either a terrestrial planet or a jovian planet?
Jupiter is a Jovian planet. The word "Jovian" comes from "Jove," which is another name for Jupiter.
