The two largest planets in the Solar System – Jupiter and Saturn – have a lot in common. They're made of very similar stuff, ...

Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System, a gas giant that could fit over 1,000 Earths inside. It is a phenomenally ...

Jupiter and Saturn host some of the strangest weather in the Solar System, and nowhere is that more obvious than at their ...

Thick, swirling clouds cover Jupiter from pole to pole. They hold water like Earth’s clouds, but at far greater density.

An atmospheric study reveals unexpected findings about our largest neighboring planet and the structure of its deep atmosphere.

Jupiter and Saturn host strikingly different polar storms, despite being similar giant planets, and scientists have long wondered why. New simulations suggest the answer may lie deep below the clouds.

Jupiter and Saturn have strikingly different polar storms. Scientists suggest these swirling vortices may reveal what lies ...

Jupiter and Saturn's different polar storms reveal clues about planet interiors: Saturn has harder bottom than Jupiter.

Spectacular clouds swirl across the surface of Jupiter. These clouds contain water, just like Earth's, but are much denser on the gas giant—so thick that no spacecraft has been able to measure exactly ...

Scientists studying Jupiter and Saturn’s polar storms suggest their dramatic differences arise from deep interior properties. Simulations show that “harder” or “softer” gas layers beneath the storms ...

Scientists suggest that the contrasting polar weather on Jupiter and Saturn may be due to differences in their deep gas layers' hardness or softness.

Unlike earlier studies, which often examined chemistry and atmospheric motion separately, the new simulations combined both.
