Saturn's 1990 white spot had some similarities to Jupiter's Great Red Spot. Discuss some of the similarities and differences. Speculate as to what might cause these
What will be an ideal response?
Both storms show turbulent, oval flow patterns. The white spot was of much shorter duration than the Red Spot. The white spot's colors are believed to be due to ammonia crystals; the Red Spot's colors are thought to involve chemical reactions that include sulfur or sulfur-containing compounds. Guesses about the causes will vary, but might touch on temperatures, pressure, wind speeds and different chemical reactions.
