The Jovian planets are large and much less dense than the terrestrial planets; Saturn is less dense than water!
7.3 Bulk Properties of the Jovian Planets
![Page 11: Chapter 7 : Mentos](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042517/568164ce550346895dd6f690/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Jovian planets, compared to Earth
![Page 12: Chapter 7 : Mentos](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042517/568164ce550346895dd6f690/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Peculiarity of Uranus: Axis of rotation lies almost in the plane of its orbit. Seasonal variations are extreme.
![Page 13: Chapter 7 : Mentos](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042517/568164ce550346895dd6f690/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Atmosphere has bright zones and dark belts.Zones are cooler, and are higher than belts.Stable flow underlies zones and bands, called zonal flow.Simplified model:
7.4 Jupiter’s Atmosphere
![Page 14: Chapter 7 : Mentos](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042517/568164ce550346895dd6f690/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
No solid surface; take top of troposphere to be 0 km.Lowest cloud layer cannot be seen by optical telescopes.Measurements by Galileo probe show high wind speeds even at great depth – probably due to heating from planet, not from Sun.
![Page 15: Chapter 7 : Mentos](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042517/568164ce550346895dd6f690/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The Galileo probe descended into Jupiter’s atmosphere and returned valuable data. The arrow indicates its entry point.

Two examples of smaller storms merging, first into a smaller red spot, second into existing Great Red Spot

The atmosphere of Saturn is similar to that of Jupiter, except that Saturn is somewhat colder and its atmosphere is thicker.
7.5 The Atmospheres of the Outer Jovian Worlds
![Page 19: Chapter 7 : Mentos](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042517/568164ce550346895dd6f690/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Saturn’s atmosphere is similar to Jupiter’s, except pressure is lower.It has three cloud layers.Cloud layers are thicker than Jupiter’s; see only top layer.
![Page 20: Chapter 7 : Mentos](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042517/568164ce550346895dd6f690/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Saturn also has large storms, and bands.

Enormous thunderstorm on Saturn
![Page 23: Chapter 7 : Mentos](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042517/568164ce550346895dd6f690/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Rotation of Uranus can be measured by watching storms.
![Page 24: Chapter 7 : Mentos](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042517/568164ce550346895dd6f690/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Neptune has storm systems similar to those on Jupiter, but fewer. The large storm system at top has disappeared in recent years.
![Page 25: Chapter 7 : Mentos](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042517/568164ce550346895dd6f690/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
No direct information is available about Jupiter’s interior, but its main components, hydrogen and helium, are quite well understood. The central portion is thought to be a rocky core.
7.6 Jovian Interiors
![Page 26: Chapter 7 : Mentos](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042517/568164ce550346895dd6f690/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Magnetic fields of Uranus and Neptune must not be produced by dynamos, as the other planets’ fields are.Interior structure of Uranus and Neptune, compared to that of Jupiter and Saturn:
![Page 27: Chapter 7 : Mentos](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042517/568164ce550346895dd6f690/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Jupiter’s magnetosphere:Intrinsic field strength is 20,000 times that of Earth.Magnetosphere can extend beyond the orbit of Saturn.
![Page 28: Chapter 7 : Mentos](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042517/568164ce550346895dd6f690/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Aurorae are seen on Jupiter, and have the same cause as those on Earth – the interaction of solar wind particles with the magnetosphere.
![Page 29: Chapter 7 : Mentos](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042517/568164ce550346895dd6f690/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Uranus and Neptune both have substantial magnetic fields, but at a large angle to their rotation axes.
The rectangle within each planet shows a bar magnet that would produce a similar field. Note that both Uranus’s and Neptune’s are significantly off center.

Summary of Chapter 7• Jupiter and Saturn were known to the ancients; Uranus was discovered by chance, and Neptune was predicted from anomalies in the orbit of Uranus.• Jovian planets are large but not dense; they are fluid and display differential rotation.• Cloud layers have light zones and dark bands; wind pattern, called zonal flow, is stable.

Summary of Chapter 7, cont.• Storms appear with regularity; the Great Red Spot of Jupiter has lasted for hundreds of years (that we know of).• Due to conductive interiors and rapid rotation, Jovian planets have large magnetic fields.• Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune radiate more energy than they receive from the Sun.
