Abstract
Beyond the asteroid belt lies Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, surrounded by an extensive system of satellites. It differs greatly from the terrestrial planets. Jupiter is a huge, rapidly rotating body with an apparently permanently banded appearance of changing colours. Its atmosphere is mainly composed of hydrogen and helium in amounts similar to those found in the sun. The composition and structure of the clouds which obscure the lower levels of atmosphere are presently not known. Present theories are unable to account completely for the banded structure, colours, and the Great Red Spot in Jupiter's atmosphere.
