Weather Phenomena in the Solar System

The video explores the extreme weather conditions on gas giants like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. It begins with a refresher on weather and climate, then delves into the unique weather patterns of each gas giant. Jupiter is known for its massive storms and jet streams, including the famous Red Spot. Saturn features incredibly fast winds and distinctive yellow bands. Uranus is notable for its diamond rain, caused by methane under pressure. Neptune's weather remains a mystery due to its intense storms despite limited sunlight. The video concludes by comparing these phenomena to Earth's weather.
