The weather forecast for Neptune
Article Abstract:
Astronomers have an imperfect understanding of weather in the solar system outside Earth, and new pictures of Neptune have added to the mystery of weather systems on that planet. The University of Wisconsin-Madison has produced a film of Neptune's weather, which shows short-lived dark spots. The giant planets, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter, lack continents and oceans, which should help in understanding their weather patterns. The weather pattern on Earth and environmental risks that could change it can be understood better by looking at weather on other planets.
