Galileo began its journey to Jupiter in October 1989. The craft released an atmospheric probe in July 1995. In December 1995, the probe plunged into Jupiter's atmosphere. The probe penetrated deep into the cloud layers and measured the amount of water and other chemicals in the atmosphere. ... Log In To MyNASA|› Sign Up...

Because Saturn is colder than Jupiter, the more colourful chemicals occur lower in its atmosphere and are not seen; this results in much less dramatic markings, but they are similar to those seen on Jupiter, taking the form of ... Saturn's rings are very reflective, and could be composed of ices such as make up comets.

Jupiter is the giant of the planets, ... We now know that these patterns result from the transport of heat from lower to upper layers in the atmosphere, which get wrapped around the planet because of its fast rotation period of 10 hours. The coloring comes from the different chemicals that make up the atmosphere.

The chemicals that make up Jupiter’s atmosphere—largely hydrogen and some helium, with traces of water, ammonia, methane, sulfur, and other chemicals—turn plenty of different colors when warm. Yet at –240°C, the temperature of the top of Jupiter's immense atmosphere, these gases should be colorless.

Studying clouds in near-infrared light is very useful for scientists studying the layers of clouds that make up Jupiter's atmosphere. Yellow colors indicate high clouds; red colors lower clouds; and blue colors even lower clouds in Jupiter's atmosphere.
