by The Great Red Spot is a long-lasting area of high pressure on Jupiter creating a persistent storm.
Located in Jupiter's Southern Hemisphere, it is the largest storm in our solar system, appearing as a giant red spot on Jupiter's surface.
It has existed for the last 150 years, possibly even longer according to NASA.
The Great Red Spot is an anticyclonic storm, a type of storm that also happens on Earth and other planets in areas of high pressure.
It rotates counterclockwise once about every six days, according to The Planets, and produces winds up to 580 mph (933 kph), according to Smithsonian.
The Great Red Spot is 10,159 miles (16,350 kilometers) wide, which is about 1.3 times the width of the Earth (7,918 miles or 12,740 km).
