What is the Red Spot and how many Earths can fit inside it?

To answer this how many Earths can fit in Jupiter and Jupiter’s red spot, we first have to determine what the Red spot is? The Great Red Spot is an anticyclonic storm which has been raging for at least 187 years, while other estimates suggest it could be longer than 350 years. The reason the age cannot be determined accurately is that while a red spot was discovered in the 17th century, we are not sure whether this was the same storm or a different one. While such a storm would be impossible to think of or achieve on Earth, it is a common sight in gas giants such as Jupiter. Just like all things on Jupiter, this storm was massive as well. In fact, according to Nasa, three Earths can fit inside this storm, which has clouds of various colors, indicating that the clouds are present on various altitudes. Imagine that! A storm the size of three Earths. Now that would make for an excellent movie.
