Scientists have been watching the largest planet in our solar system for 40 years.
They noticed that inexplicable climate patterns are created that repeat themselves in cycles of years.
The uppermost layer in Jupiter’s atmosphere, the stratosphere, greatly affects the temperatures in the lower level, the troposphere.
The planet’s tropospheric temperatures differed periodically on timescales of 4 years, 8 years, and 12 years. However, the reasons why this is happening have not yet been established.
