Giant planets have strange weather: what few know
Scientists have developed a new model. This model explains extreme jet streams. These are found on all giant planets.
The model is called the "Unified model." It helps us understand the fast winds. These winds circle the planets.
It's shocking how similar these giant worlds are!
Researchers found a key factor. It is the depth of the planet's atmosphere. This depth controls the jet streams. The model works for Jupiter and Saturn. It also works for Uranus and Neptune.
This is a big step in planetary science. It explains a common weather pattern. This pattern exists across our solar system.
New research will build on this model. It might help us find similar patterns elsewhere.
