Saturn's Atmosphere Does Not Show the Same Colorful Contrast That

question 18

Multiple Choice

Saturn's atmosphere does not show the same colorful contrast that we see in Jupiter's atmosphere because:

• A) Saturn has a similar circulation pattern to Jupiter's, but it is obscured by a thick hazy atmosphere.
• B) Saturn has counterflowing eastward and westward winds, as does Jupiter, but it lacks the three differently colored cloud levels.
• C) Saturn's clouds and circulation pattern resemble those of Earth (individual cyclones and anticyclones) rather than the elongated cloud forms of Jupiter.
• D) Saturn's features are obscured by an upper cloud deck of methane ice crystals, whose distinctive absorption of red light results in Saturn's blue color. Jupiter is too hot to have a methane atmosphere.
