The largest planet in the solar system, Jupiter is covered by swirling clouds of hydrogen, helium and ammonia. Huge storms and raging winds create the swirled colors of Jupiter's atmosphere. The Red Spot, a gigantic storm, has been visible for at least 300 years.
木星是太陽系中最大的行星，由氫、氦和氨組成的漩渦雲覆蓋。巨大的風暴和狂風造成了木星大氣的漩渦顏色。紅斑是一場巨大的風暴，至少在300年內都是可見的。
Scientists still have a lot to learn about Jupiter. They know that its atmosphere is similar to that of the Sun – mostly hydrogen and helium. If it was larger, the planet might have become a star. They also know that it has a strong magnetic field, much stronger than the Earth's. The gases on Jupiter are so thick and heavy at the surface of the planet that they become metallic liquid hydrogen. Scientists believe an icy rock core lies at the center of the planet.
科學家們還有很多東西要了解木星。他們知道木星的大氣層與太陽相似——主要是氫和氦。如果它更大，這顆行星可能會變成恆星。木星有很強的磁場，比地球強得多。木星上的氣體非常的厚重，以至於它們變成了金屬的液態氫。科學家認為，木星的內部核心是一顆冰凍的巖石。
