木星上的大风暴是不同的。在地球上,巨大的飓风和巨大的气旋集中在低气压区域,但在木星上,最大的是高压的反气旋风暴。在地球上,大风暴可以持续数周,但在木星上,它们可以持续数年。在地球上,大风暴可以和一个国家一样大,但在木星上,大风暴可以和地球一样大。众所周知,这两种类型的风暴都会出现闪电。这张木星云的特色图像是由朱诺号宇宙飞船在2020年8月俯冲接近这颗巨大的行星时捕获的图像和数据组成的。在附近可以看到一个旋转的白色椭圆形,而许多较小的云漩涡延伸到远处。在木星上,浅色的云通常比深色的云高。尽管它们之间存在差异,但研究遥远木星上的风暴云可以让我们了解熟悉地球上的风暴和其他天气模式。冲浪宇宙:随机APOD生成器

Big storms are different on Jupiter. On Earth, huge hurricanes and colossal cyclones are centered on regions of low pressure, but on Jupiter, it is the high-pressure, anti-cyclone storms that are the largest. On Earth, large storms can last weeks, but on Jupiter they can last years. On Earth, large storms can be as large as a country, but on Jupiter, large storms can be as large as planet Earth. Both types of storms are known to exhibit lightning. The featured image of Jupiter's clouds was composed from images and data captured by the robotic Juno spacecraft as it swooped close to the massive planet in August 2020.  A swirling white oval is visible nearby, while numerous smaller cloud swirls extend into the distance.  On Jupiter, light-colored clouds are usually higher up than dark clouds. Despite their differences, studying storm clouds on distant Jupiter provides insights into storms and other weather patterns on familiar Earth.  Surf the Universe: Random APOD Generator
