The prospect if super storm Jupiter raged on Earth
If it appeared on Earth, the Great Red Spot would cover 40% of the planet's surface and rise into space with destructive winds of 680 km/h.
The Great Red Spot or Great Red Spot is an anticyclonic storm on Jupiter, located about 22° south of the equator, that has lasted 340 years. This storm is so large that it can be seen from Earth through a telescope.
The Great Red Spot on Jupiter can hold three Earths inside.
The image at right was taken by Voyager 1 on February 25, 1979, when it passed by at a distance of 9.2 million km to Jupiter. Cloud details with sizes as small as 160 km can be observed in the image. The colorful rippling regions to the left of the Great Red Spot are an area of complex wave motions in Jupiter's atmosphere. The size of this storm can be compared to the size of a smaller white storm lying just below the Earth's diameter. The Great Red Spot is about 24,000 to 40,000 km long and about 12,000 to 14,000 km wide, enough to hold three Earths inside.
If it appeared on Earth, the Great Red Spot would cover 40% of the planet's surface and rise into space with destructive winds of 680km/h.
