What is the most terrible object in the solar system and why?

In the vast solar system, except the earth, which is suitable for human habitation, the environment of other planets is several orders of magnitude worse than the worst place on the earth. Needless to say, the horror of the sun is the scariest planet, and you may not know how horrible it is. This planet is Jupiter.

The wandering earth made Jupiter angry, but he didn't express Jupiter's horrible side. Let's talk about how horrible Jupiter, the death star in the universe, is.

gale

Jupiter's volume is more than 1300 times that of the earth, but its rotation speed is the fastest in the solar system, and its rotation period is only 9 hours and 50 minutes. The rotation speed is so great that Jupiter is thrown into a flat ball, and the wind is amazing. The maximum wind speed is130 ~150m/s, that is, 468 ~ 540km/h.

Strange vortex

The great red spot in the picture below is 40,000 km long and1.3,000 km wide. This red spot can hold several earths. This red spot has existed on Jupiter for hundreds of years. This strange red spot is actually a rising vortex airflow, which also rotates counterclockwise with Jupiter's rotation, making the meteorological environment on Jupiter's surface even more strange.

Frequent thunderstorm weather

Jupiter is huge, its mass is 3 18 times that of the earth, and it is surrounded by a thick atmosphere. Strong winds aggravate the influence of positive and negative clouds, so lightning and thunderstorms occur frequently. Thunderstorms on Jupiter are more than ten thousand times more frequent than those on Earth. The atmospheric density on Jupiter is also greater than that on Earth, and lightning travels faster.

However, Jupiter is not useless to the earth. Jupiter is the second largest celestial body in the solar system, which can attract celestial bodies that may hit the earth to its side to some extent, thus protecting the earth from attack. Jupiter is more resistant to impact than the earth. 1July, 994 16, several kilometers of debris from comet shoemaker-levy 9 bombarded Jupiter at a speed of 2 1 km per second for six days, and Jupiter was still safe and sound!
