The gas giant doesn&#8217;t rotate like a solid body though. A day on Jupiter is about 9 hours and 56 minutes long at the poles, decreasing to 9 hours and 50 minutes near the equator. The giant planet&#8217;s fast rotation creates strong jet streams, separating its clouds into planet girdling bands of dark belts and bright zones. You can easily follow Jupiter&#8217;s rapid rotation in this sharp sequence of images from the night of January 15, all taken with a camera and small telescope outside of Paris, France. Located just south of the equator, the giant planet&#8217;s giant storm system, also known as the Great Red Spot, can be seen moving left to right with the planet&#8217;s rotation. From lower left to upper right, the sequence spans about 2 hours and 30 minutes. via NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap240119.html\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jupiter, our Solar System&#8217;s ruling gas giant, is also the fastest spinning planet, rotating once in less than 10 hours.
