Why is the red spot on Jupiter Red?

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.

Why is Mars red?

Well, a lot of rocks on Mars are full of iron, and when they're exposed to the great outdoors, they 'oxidize' and turn reddish - the same way an old bike left out in the yard gets all rusty. When rusty dust from those rocks gets kicked up in the atmosphere, it makes the martian sky look pink.

How old is Jupiter storm?

The Great Red Spot is a persistent anticyclonic storm on the planet Jupiter, 22 degrees south of the equator, which has lasted at least 340 years. The storm is large enough to be visible through Earth-based telescopes. It was probably first observed by Cassini, who described it around 1665.

What is Earth's twin planet?

Now, it turns out, the Great Red Spot isn't just wide: it's deep too, quite a bit deeper than anybody expected. Data from NASA's Juno spacecraft has shown that the behemoth storm extends as much as 310 miles (500 kilometers) beneath Jupiter's cloud tops.

Does the Red Spot on Jupiter move?

Great Red Spot, a long-lived enormous storm system on the planet Jupiter and the most conspicuous feature of its visible cloud surface. It moves in longitude with respect to the clouds as Jupiter rotates but remains centred at about latitude 22° S. ...

When can you see red spot on Jupiter?

The Great Red Spot is visible in amateur telescopes when it transits the meridian of the planet, the line connecting the north and south poles. The GRS transits the meridian once every 9.8 hour revolution of Jupiter, but not every transit occurs at night.

How is Uranus blue?

The blue-green color results from the absorption of red light by methane gas in Uranus' deep, cold and remarkably clear atmosphere. ... In fact, the limb is dark and uniform in color around the planet.
