In Inside Planetary Storms, Professor Brian Cox explores the extreme weather conditions on Jupiter, a planet with an incredibly thick atmosphere that fuels its intense storms. Despite being far from the Sun, Jupiter’s storms are powered by immense surface pressure. This atmospheric pressure causes hydrogen gas to transform into a liquid, releasing vast amounts of energy and creating some of the most powerful storms in the Solar System. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Wonders of the Solar System, a spellbinding documentary series that explores the most extreme locations on Earth to explain how the laws of physics carved natural wonders across the Solar System.
In Neptune, Ice Giant, Professor Brian Cox explains how Neptune is unique because of its atmosphere, cold temperatures, weather, and wind speed. Learn how the pressure and lack of features on Neptune create the highest wind speeds in the Solar System. This video is excerpted from BBC’s The Planets, a series that explores the dramatic lives of the eight planets in our Solar System.
