There are probably storms bigger than Earth on Jupiter.

I thought it was common knowledge the great red spot is three Earths wide.

I hear different things. Sometimes it's the size of Earth, sometimes it's three times Earth's size. I just don't know who to believe anymore!

Well, do you know that objects expand when it get hot? Well, in the summer earth gets so hit so it expand thrice the original size. So the red spot is sometimes thrice the size of earth and sometimes as big as tje earth.

The giant tornado didnt change, the earth does!

The more you know

Because they look at Harvey and Katrina. When Andrew hit us only us Floridans knew and was shook from it. I bet no one knew about outside of Florida until like a few days ago.

That would explain why it takes so much longer to get to places during the summer.

Exactly. Makes sense right?

Same reasom why rivers water level go lower in the summer. It isnt just because the sun is too hot and the water evaporate. It is because the river crevice got larger BUT the water volume dont scale with the container's expanding size

Not sure if serious but the Great Red Spot storm has been diminishing in size for quite some time IIRC. It's no more eternal than the storms on Earth: it was bound to end someday.

When I watch videos or read about Jupiter, sometimes they say the storm is the size of the Earth, sometimes they say it's 3 times the size of Earth. Like I just googled it, and the NASA site said it was twice the size of Earth, and the wiki right below it said it's the size of Earth. Nobody is talking about it being eternal.
