The blackbody temperature of the Jupiter reported on this page is incorrect. It should be updated to 124.4+/-0.3 K. The source is here: https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2023RemS...15.1811R/abstract (see footnote 9 at the bottom of page 8). Not just on this page, but on all the solar system planet pages, the "blackbody temperature" should really be listed as the "effective temperature" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_temperature#:~:text=The%20effective%20temperature%20of%20a%20star%20is%20the%20temperature%20of,R%20is%20the%20stellar%20radius.) or "effective blackbody temperature" because planets are not blackbodies, this is simply the effective blackbody temperature that we get when we integrated the flux over the entire spectrum. 35.6.72.204 (talk) 15:22, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am only 11 so correct me if my statistics are wrong. But why is Jupiter many colors mars is one color due to the sand and personally I think Jupiter needs more research and fly by done. I want to know if different materials are found on Jupiter 50.127.5.36 (talk) 16:09, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well your question does raise an interesting point: why does Jupiter's gaseous atmosphere possess longitudinal bands of different hues? I don't think the current article provides an explanation; it just says they exist. You don't really see that on the other gas giants (or at least not to the same degree), so I'd like to know why as well. Presumably it has something to do with internal heat and chemistry, but why the banding? Praemonitus (talk) 17:46, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Does this article answer your question? ZergTwo (talk) 17:51, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think it may be close to how Mars is red, because of the chemicals and yes that does answer my question. 50.127.5.36 (talk) 18:03, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the article states that the "origin of Jupiter's colored banded structure is not completely clear", so I suppose not. Tyler (2022) proposed that the banding structure may be caused by tides, so that's a possibility.[1] Praemonitus (talk) 03:22, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Aren't you asking why Jupiter's bands are coloured, not their origins? ZergTwo (talk) 03:56, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Both. Presumably the two are related. Praemonitus (talk) 05:40, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
