Quick Answer
The Great Red Spot is a giant storm on Jupiter. It has been observed for at least 150 years and is larger than Earth.
The Full Story
Jupiter’s Great Red Spot is a long-lived anticyclonic storm in the planet’s atmosphere. It was documented in the 19th century and may have been observed even earlier, though the current storm has certainly persisted for over a century. The storm is enormous, though measurements show it has been shrinking over time. It is driven by Jupiter’s powerful winds and lack of a solid surface to stop atmospheric motion.
