Size comparison: Earth vs Jupiter



Size comparison between Earth and Jupiter. We see that the blue planet is almost as large as the giant storm of Jupiter. Jupiter's "Great Red Spot" is a 15,000 km long, 12,000 km wide, 8 km high high above the surrounding clouds (due to colder temperatures). The winds in this task reach 700 km / h. It is assumed that the red color comes from sulfur and phosphorus compounds. Jupiter spins much more on itself than the Earth.

The temperature is much colder, the gravity is 2.5 times higher, its number of natural satellites is much higher (they are all at least 1 kilometer in diameter). Jupiter is basically made up of hydrogen and helium.
