Prominent on photos of Jupiter, is a large, reddish oval feature, named the Great Red Spot.
How could this major feature be utilized to determine the rotation period of the planet?
Calculate the semimajor axis of Jupiter given its orbital period as 11.862 years.
The Great Red Patch is the term given to the enormous red area on Jupiter's surface.
Are there any predictions on how long it will take the planet to complete its rotation?
