Jupiter's atmosphere features massive banded conveyor belts moving at hurricane-force speeds (four times stronger than Earth's hurricanes) that extend approximately 3,000 km deep into the planet, along with large white oval anticyclones bigger than Earth's continents that persist for years, and darker circular vortices, all contributing to the planet's turbulent appearance as clouds are stretched, folded, and twisted by winds exceeding 200 mph.

You Wouldn’t Fall Onto JupiterAdded:
What are we actually looking at on Jupiter? These banded planet-size conveyor belts move at four times the strength of a hurricane, [music] and they reach around 3,000 km down into the planet. These white oval anticyclones, bigger than some of Earth's continents, last [music] for years. Then you have these darker circular swirls, which are huge vortices in Jupiter's atmosphere.
And this marble-looking [music] mess here, that's turbulence. Clouds being stretched, folded, and twisted by winds moving at over 200 mph. [music] What other planets would you like to know more about on Fact or Not?
