Note: 'Jupiter's Great Red Spot rotates counter-clockwise (anti-cyclonic) and makes a full rotation every six Earth days. The rotation period of the spot has decreased. Some believe that it is a result of its shrinking. Winds at the very edges of the storm gust to 432 km-h, but inside the storm winds seem to be somewhat stagnant with no inflow nor outflow. The spot is large enough to engulf three Earths. The cloudtops of the GRS are about 8 km above the surrounding clouds.' (www.universetoday.com)
