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.
