What makes Jupiters storms?

Answer 1

Jupiter's tremendously violent, planet-sized storms can grow by hundreds of miles in a day, and they can throw ice and other matter up to 20 miles (32 kilometers) above the clouds. They're the product of about 12 bands of weather, or jet streams, that move east and west around the planet.

A storm on Jupiter is officially called a vortex. In the planet's northern hemisphere, a clockwise-rotating storm is called an anticyclone; a counterclockwise-rotating storm is a cyclone. The terms are reversed for storms in the Southern Hemisphere. Vortices may last for short periods of time, disappearing in the jet stream, or high-speed winds may push them into the path of other vortices, causing them to combine and form major storms.

Answer 2

Jupiter's storms are thought to be caused by the planet's fast rotation, which creates powerful winds and turbulence in its atmosphere. The planet's size, strong magnetic field, and internal heat sources also contribute to the formation of these intense storms, such as the famous Great Red Spot.
