is the brightest of the planets apart from Venus, though for relatively brief periods Mars may outshine it Jupiter’s less than 10-hour rotation period gives it the shortest day in the solar system

semisolid body floating in Jupiter’s outer gas However, the Pioneer and Voyager results have refuted that idea and proven the Red Spot to be a phenomenon of Jovian meteorology Its longevity may well
