Detailed explanation-1: -Jupiter’s monster storm, the Great Red Spot, was once so large that three Earths would fit inside it. But new measurements by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope reveal that the largest storm in our solar system has downsized significantly.
Detailed explanation-2: -Jupiter’s Great Red Spot rotates counterclockwise, with a period of about 4.5 Earth days or 11 Jovian days in 2008. Measuring 16, 350 km (10, 160 mi) in width as of 3 April 2017, Jupiter’s Great Red Spot is 1.3 times the diameter of Earth.
Detailed explanation-3: -How large is Jupiter’s Great Red Spot? (as large as three Earths)
Detailed explanation-4: -The Great Red Spot is an anti-cyclonic (high-pressure) storm on Jupiter that can be likened to the worst hurricanes on Earth. An ancient storm, it is so large that three Earths could fit inside it.
Detailed explanation-5: -At 10, 000 miles across, the Great Red Spot is the largest storm in our solar system and has been continually observed for around 200 years, but it’s been around for much longer. (Compare that with big storms on Earth, which generally last a few days or weeks at most.)
