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 may be similar in size and made of the same gases, but the weather at their poles tells a different story.
Jupiter and Saturn's different polar storms reveal clues about planet interiors: Saturn has harder bottom than Jupiter.
Over the years, passing spacecraft have observed mystifying weather patterns at the poles of Jupiter and Saturn. The two planets host very different types of polar vortices, which are huge atmospheric ...
