Jupiter's Atmosphere Has Three Prominent Cloud Layers: NH₃ (Ammonia), NH₄SH

question 272

Multiple Choice

Jupiter's atmosphere has three prominent cloud layers: NH₃ (ammonia) , NH₄SH (ammonium hydrosulfide) , and H₂O (water vapor) . How do the cloud layers in the atmosphere of Saturn compare to this?

• A) The two atmospheres are virtually identical.
• B) The layers in Saturn's atmosphere are very similar, but they are more spread out because of Saturn's lesser gravity.
• C) Saturn is much colder because it is farther from the Sun and because it does not give out as much energy from gravitational contraction as does Jupiter. This temperature difference has reversed the order of the layers in comparison with Jupiter.
• D) Saturn is a very different planet, and its atmosphere does not resemble that of Jupiter at all.
