What causes the highly differentiated color banding on Jupiter?

FROM THE May 2011 ISSUE

What causes the highly differentiated color banding on Jupiter?

Dennis Hollingworth, Redondo Beach, California

Published: Monday, March 28, 2011

Jupiterт??s striped atmosphere results from the interaction of different chemicals and varying wind patterns. NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute

Clouds and gases flowing in Jupiterт??s atmosphere (and those of the other giant planets as well) create the banded patterns.

Most of Jupiterт??s atmosphere is hydrogen and the visible clouds are thought to be ammonia, but there are traces of other chemical compounds.
