Weather Phenomena on Gas Giants

The video explores the extreme weather conditions on gas giants like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. It begins with a refresher on weather and climate, then delves into the unique weather phenomena of each gas giant. Jupiter is known for its massive storms and jet streams, while Saturn has incredibly fast winds. Uranus features diamond rain due to its methane-rich atmosphere, and Neptune's weather remains a mystery due to its low sunlight exposure. The video concludes by comparing these conditions to Earth's weather, highlighting the intensity and uniqueness of each planet's atmosphere.
