1 Ιαν 2020 · Below the tropopause, temperatures increase with increasing depth as the most efficient means of energy transport is convection and the atmospheric temperature profile is roughly adiabatic. This portion of the atmosphere is heated from below.
G. Jupiter, as well as all of the Jovian planets, has rings. However, its rings are not as large or as visible as those of Saturn. The rings were not discovered until spacecraft were able to image the planet from behind so as to see the rings in relief.
Ring particles range in size from fractions of a millimeter to tens of meters. Composition: Water ice—similar to snowballs. Why rings: Too close to planet for moon to form—tidal forces would tear it apart. Details of formation are unknown: Too active to have lasted since birth of solar system
11 Απρ 2022 · Describe the cloud formation and atmospheric structure of the gas giants. Characterize the giant planets’ wind and weather patterns. Understand the scale and longevity of storms on the giant planets. The atmospheres of the jovian planets are the parts we can observe or measure directly.
Each of the Jovian planets has several characteristics in common. While Saturn’s bright rings are the most visible and well known, fainter and darker rings have . been seen around Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune. The Jovian planets also are distinctive for having many moons.
SUMMARY: All four jovian planets are surrounded by a set of rings. These rings are made up of rock, ice, and dust particles that range in size from microscopically small to the size of a house. Sections: Rings Galore. The Rings Revealed. How Are Rings Formed? Related Lessons: Rings and Things. Rings Galore.
The atmospheric structures of the four jovian planets are all quite similar. The primary difference is that the atmospheres get progressively cooler with increasing distance from the Sun. Notice on the diagram that clouds of a particular composition always occur at about the same temperature.
