The Planets with Inside-Out Weather

The video explores how internal heating affects weather and climate on gas giants like Jupiter, Neptune, and Saturn, as well as on Earth. Jupiter and Neptune generate significant internal heat, driving intense weather patterns, while Saturn's heat comes from helium rain. Earth's internal heat, partly from radioactive decay, influences geological activity. Understanding these processes helps predict conditions on distant worlds.
