average 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 insofar as the principal planets are concerned There are no true seasons on Jupiter because the axial inclination to the perpendicular of the orbital plane is only just over - less than that for any other planet The most famous mark on Jupiter is the Great Red Spot It has shown variations in both intensity and color, and at times it has been invisible, but it always returns after a few years At its greatest extent it may be 40,000 kilometers long an 14,000 kilometers wide, so its surface area is greater than that of Earth Though the latitude of the Red Spot varies little, it drifts about in longitude Over the past century the total longitudinal drift has amounted to approximately 1200 The latitude is generally very close to -220 It was once thought that the Red Spot might be a solid or 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 be due to its exceptional size, but there are signs that it is decreasing in size, and it may not be permanent Several smaller red spots have been seen occasionally but have not lasted 81
