Jupiter's fast rotational period (less than 10 hours) causes sustained winds in excess of more than 400 mph. Because of this, Jupiter's clouds are elongated and appear to be strips. The effect is also caused by the atmospheric elements hydrogen and helium being manipulated by the winds.
Jupiter has a very fast rotation period of about 10 hours, making it the fastest rotating planet in our solar system. This rapid rotation causes the planet to have a squished appearance at its poles and a bulging equator. Jupiter's rotation period also influences its strong magnetic field and intense atmospheric activity.
Jupiter is spherical but its core is the only substance that is a solid
Following Mars in our solar system is the planet Jupiter. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and is known for its massive size and iconic stripey appearance.
The striations seen on Jupiter are caused by its fast rotation and the planet's complex atmospheric dynamics. Different bands of clouds and gases with varying compositions and pressures interact to create these distinct striped patterns on Jupiter's surface.
Clouds
Jupiter's fast rotational period (less than 10 hours) causes sustained winds in excess of more than 400 mph. Because of this, Jupiter's clouds are elongated and appear to be strips. The effect is also caused by the atmospheric elements hydrogen and helium being manipulated by the winds.
Gas
Jupiter is a gas giant, and so is made up of a gas called Hydrogen. This is not what you see when you look at Jupiter however, as the surface of Jupiter is covered entirely with huge whirling storms. All of these have different colours so you will see Jupiter as a stripy planet covered with dots of red and other colours.
Basically what you are looking at are darker bands of clouds against a lighter colored planet. And they are bands primarily because Jupiter spins so fast on its axis that each 'day' is only a mere 9.9 hours long.
The difference in atmosphere density and what's in the air causes it to form into band like formation

The cast of Stripy - 1984 includes: Carlo Bonomi as Stripy
The correct spelling is stripy. Meaning something is striped.For example "the zebra has a stripy coat".
something that rhymes with stripy is hippy :L xx
I don't think so, and I don't think stripy is a word.
Yes, it is (having or marked with stripes). It may be spelled stripy or stripey.
