Storms on planets like Jupiter and Neptune run at an incredible speed. The wind speed on Neptune reaches 2000 km per hour. On Earth, the fastest natural winds were recorded at 407 km per hour. Brihas …Read more

Washington: Everything is good as long as the winds are calm. If it starts flowing from high speed, then you can destroy the biggest buildings. In 1985, a Microbirest dropped the flight of Delta Airlines on the runway. In 2017, during the Hurricane Irma, winds were at a speed of 298 km per hour, causing destruction. So, which is the fastest storm ever? It depends on how the air became and from which equipment it was measured. It has different records on this basis. However, planets like Jupiter and Neptune in our solar system are also witness to storms.

If we talk about the strongest winds of the solar system, then it flows on the planet Neptune. Their speed is supersonic. According to NASA, its speed reaches 1770 km per hour. It is one and a half times faster than the voice. Only wind tunnels can reach hypersonic speed on Earth. The 10 × 10 supersonic winds of NASA’s Glenn Research Center flows at a speed of 4,321 kmph. At the same time, when we talk about the flywheel of the strongest winds on the earth, it has a record of 407 km per hour. It was recorded on 10 April 1996 during a cyclone on Bairo Island in Australia.

Storm going on on Jupiter
Talking about storms, Jupiter in our solar system is such that every moment the storm is going on. It has many mysterious storms, but the most famous is ‘The Great Red Spot’. When you see the pictures of Jupiter, there is a big spot of red color in it. This is not a common spot but a giant storm, which has been going on for the last several hundred years. You should guess how big the storm is that two planets like Earth will be absorbed in it. The storm size is 16,000 km wide and its wind speed can reach 640 kmph.

Why are there storms on Jupiter?
Storms on Jupiter are formed due to the rapid rotation of the planet and internal heat. One day of Jupiter is only 10 hours, due to which strong winds are produced in its atmosphere. These winds flow in different directions and collide and create powerful storms. According to NASA, the long lifetime of the red spot storm may be associated with the fact that Jupiter is mainly a gaseous planet. The red spot changes its shape and color dramatically.
