Jupiter

The fifth and largest planet, Jupiter is the second birghtest planet in our nighttime sky. It consists of a large amount of liquid and gas. Perhaps the most recongizable part of Jupiter is its large red spot, a storm currently occuring in its atmosphere. The planets atmosphere consists of about 9/10 hydrogen and 1/10 helium. Much of Jupiter's mystery has yet to be solved due to the intense conditions of its atmospheres, but daily findings on the planet are regular.
