Jupiter’s swirling storms have concealed its true makeup for centuries, but a new model is finally peeling back the clouds.

The two largest planets in the Solar System – Jupiter and Saturn – have a lot in common. They're made of very similar stuff, ...

New simulations suggest Jupiter holds far more water than once thought, reshaping ideas about how the largest planet formed.

Thick, swirling clouds cover Jupiter from pole to pole. They hold water like Earth’s clouds, but at far greater density.

For generations, Jupiter has been shorthand for a straightforward idea: the biggest planet in the Solar System, a gas giant ...

An atmospheric study reveals unexpected findings about our largest neighboring planet and the structure of its deep atmosphere.

Jupiter and Saturn's different polar storms reveal clues about planet interiors: Saturn has harder bottom than Jupiter.

Jupiter and Saturn host strikingly different polar storms, despite being similar giant planets, and scientists have long wondered why. New simulations suggest the answer may lie deep below the clouds.

Scientists suggest that the contrasting polar weather on Jupiter and Saturn may be due to differences in their deep gas layers' hardness or softness.

Spectacular clouds swirl across the surface of Jupiter. These clouds contain water, just like Earth's, but are much denser on the gas giant—so thick that no spacecraft has been able to measure exactly ...

SANTA CRUZ — Xi Zhang, a professor of Earth and planetary science at UC Santa Cruz, has discovered that an exoplanet classed as a “super-Jupiter” has substantial differences from our solar system’s ...
