Compare the differential rotation rates of the four jovian planets

What will be an ideal response?


Jupiter and Saturn rotate rapidly, in about ten hours, with their equators spinning fastest. Both Uranus and Neptune spin slower (but still faster than Earth), and their equators spin slower than their higher latitudes.
