Jupiter isn’t anyone’s idea of a great summer vacation spot! Stormy Spot J upiter is the largest planet in our solar system. So, why is a day on Jupiter so short? It’s only about ten Earth hours long. That means there is a sunset every ten hours! The fast rotational speed of Jupiter is one of the reasons why there are so many storms on the planet. Wind speeds on Jupiter can reach nearly 400 miles per hour. The big storm known as the Great Red Spot may be one giant storm that scientists think has been going on for many years. How many years? Do the math: Winds on Jupiter reach over 400 miles per hour. The most fierce hurricane winds on Earth reach just over 150 miles per hour.

But in recent years, more objects have been discovered that could be moons, or satellites — possibly another 47 moons! It will take awhile to know if these are actually all moons. Some are round like ours and some are irregular shapes. 34747 Hwy 101 Bus. ASTORIA Find the two identical moons.
