The planet known for its strong hurricanes is Jupiter. This gas giant boasts the Great Red Spot, which is a massive storm that has been raging for centuries. The Great Red Spot is a high-pressure region producing winds that can exceed 400 kilometers per hour (about 250 mph). Unlike hurricanes on Earth, which are confined to certain seasons, Jupiter's storms can persist for decades without dissipating. The planet's thick atmosphere and rapid rotation contribute to these powerful storms. Studying Jupiter's weather patterns helps scientists understand atmospheric dynamics both on the giant planet and in our own planetary systems.
