Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun. It is the largest planet in the Solar System. Jupiter has a thick atmosphere that is composed mainly of hydrogen and helium. The atmosphere is divided into two main zones, the troposphere and the stratosphere. The troposphere is the lower zone and is where most of the weather occurs. The stratosphere is the upper zone and is where the temperature increases with altitude.

Jupiter's weather patterns are very different from those on Earth. The most notable feature of Jupiter's weather is the Great Red Spot. The Great Red Spot is a giant storm that has been observed for at least 300 years. It is larger than Earth and is one of the most powerful storms in the Solar System.

Jupiter's weather patterns are also influenced by the planet's rotation. Jupiter rotates very quickly, completing one rotation in just under 10 hours. This rapid rotation creates strong winds that can reach speeds of up to 400 miles per hour.
