The coriolis effect on the surface causes the winds to spin in opposite directions. Organic chemicals cause the color differences. The Great Red Spot on Jupiter is a permanent hurricane caused by winds spinning in opposite directions. Jupiter, like all Jovian planets, has rings. These rings are not as brilliant and visible as Saturn, that is why not many people know of them.
Many people think that Jupiter was suppose to be a star at one point, but never made it.
It gives off twice as much energy as it receives from the sun. Others think that its residual heat from its formation. The moons of Jupiter mimicked the formation of the planets in the solar system, the lighter moons farther out, the heavier ones close to the center. The intense gravitational field of Jupiter pulls and distorts Io to such an extent that internal friction heats the planet up. The internal heat returns to the surface as volcanoes, which produces sulfur, making the surface reddish-orange.
