Saturn's Great White Spot Song

The video explores Saturn's Great White Spot, a periodic storm occurring every 28.5 Saturn years, equivalent to 29.4 Earth years. The storm's dynamics, including its impact on Saturn's stratosphere and observations by the Cassini spacecraft, are discussed. A hypothetical scenario is presented, imagining the storm's effects if it occurred on Earth, highlighting its potential to wrap around the northern hemisphere. The storm's size, nearly as large as Earth, is emphasized, concluding with a reflection on its significance.

How often does Saturn's Great White Spot occur?

• Every 29.4 Earth years

• Every 28.5 Earth years

• Every 50 Earth years

• Every 10 Earth years

What did the Cassini spacecraft observe about the storm on Saturn?

• The storm was stationary

• The storm's winds sheared in both directions

• The storm was only in the southern hemisphere

• The storm dissipated quickly

Where did the Great White Spot wrap around on Saturn?

• The northern hemisphere

• The equator

• The entire planet

• The southern hemisphere

If the storm occurred on Earth, what would be its impact?

• It would cause mild weather changes

• It would wrap around the entire northern hemisphere

• It would only affect the southern hemisphere

• It would have no impact on Earth

How large can Saturn's Great White Spot get compared to Earth?

• As large as the Moon

• As large as Earth

• As large as Jupiter

• As large as Mars
