• Holes in the cloud layer

• Bright white clouds

• Mountain ranges

What significant discovery was made during the Cassini mission's flyby of Jupiter?

• Jupiter's atmosphere is similar to Earth's

• Jupiter has a solid surface

• Jupiter's clouds move in a Rossby wave pattern

• Jupiter has rings

What is a Rossby wave?

• A type of cloud formation

• A pattern of atmospheric movement

• A type of planetary ring

• A type of ocean current

How do Rossby waves affect weather on Earth?

• They lead to the formation of mountains
