4 dni temu · Jupiter - Ammonia, Water, Sulfur: Jupiter’s clouds are formed at different altitudes in the planet’s atmosphere. Except for the top of the Great Red Spot, the white clouds are the highest, with cloud-top temperatures of about 120 kelvins (K; −240 °F, or −150 °C).
The presence of diatomic sulfur (S 2) and carbon disulfide (CS 2) was recorded—the first detection of either in Jupiter, and only the second detection of S 2 in any astronomical object— together with other molecules such as ammonia (NH 3) and hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S), while oxygen-bearing molecules such as sulfur dioxide were not detected ...
The vivid colors you see in thick bands across Jupiter may be plumes of sulfur and phosphorus-containing gases rising from the planet's warmer interior. Jupiter's fast rotation – spinning once every 10 hours – creates strong jet streams, separating its clouds into dark belts and bright zones across long stretches.

1 dzień temu · We review sulfur chemistry of the gas giant planets and their moons where sulfur compounds are observed. The major S-bearing gas in the upper atmospheres of the giant planets is H 2 S and is removed from their observable atmospheres by condensation into cloud layers (NH 4 SH on all four planets and additionally H 2 S ice on Uranus and Neptune). Any remaining H 2 S at higher altitudes is ...
The gas is ionized in Jupiter's magnetosphere, producing sulfur and oxygen ions. They, together with hydrogen ions originating from the atmosphere of Jupiter, form a plasma sheet in Jupiter's equatorial plane. The plasma in the sheet co-rotates with the planet, causing deformation of the dipole magnetic field into that of a magnetodisk.
