Detailed explanation-1: -Jupiter is well-known for being the biggest planet in our solar system, and it’s also home to the biggest storm. It’s called the Great Red Spot, an enormous vortex that has been swirling for centuries.
Detailed explanation-2: -Some scientists think the red color comes from chemicals burrowed deep beneath the storm’s cloud tops. But other researchers say the rusty color comes from sunlight splitting up various chemicals in the storm’s upper atmosphere, which would mean the rest of the Great Red Spot is actually not very red at all.
Detailed explanation-3: -Astronomers think the current red spot may have been present for at least several hundred years. The 17th century polymath and Micrographia author, Robert Hooke, is often credited with making the first recorded observation in May 1664.
