Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Jupiter’s Great Red Spot (GRS) is a large and enduring anticyclonic storm in Jupiter’s atmosphere. Both its size (currently more than 16, 000 km east-west) and centuries-old longevity are unlike other vortices in the Solar System and must be driven by the underlying dynamics of the storm.
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.
