A well-known feature of Jupiter is the Great Red Spot, a persistent anticyclonic storm located 22° south of the equator.
The volcanoes on the moon Io emit large amounts of sulfur dioxide, forming a gas torus along its orbit.

Since 1976 named its newly discovered satellites for the god's lovers, favourites, and descendants.

The orange and brown colours in the clouds of Jupiter are caused by upwelling compounds that change colour when they are exposed to ultraviolet light from the Sun.

In Latin, Iovis is the genitive case of Iuppiter, i.e. Jupiter. It is associated with the etymology of Zeus ('sky father').

The cloud layer is about 31 miles deep, and consists of at least two decks of ammonia clouds: a thin clearer region on top with a thick lower deck.
Jupiter radiates more heat than it receives through solar radiation, due to the Kelvin–Helmholtz mechanism within its contracting interior.
Jupiter is thought to have about as large a diameter as a planet of its composition and evolutionary history can achieve.
