Jupiter. At left is false-colour infrared image of haze particles in Jupiter's atmosphere. The great Red Spot (GRS), a large storm system, is bright white. At left is a false-colour mid-infrared image, which is sensitive to tropospheric temperatures and cloud thickness near the condensation level of ammonia gas. the GRS is a cool dark red with thick cloud cover. Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. It has a diameter of around 140, 000 kilometres, more than ten times that of Earth. It is a gas giant and is mostly hydrogen and helium.
