Energy reaches Jupiter primarily through two sources: sunlight and internal heat. Although Jupiter is far from the Sun, it still receives solar energy, which drives some atmospheric processes. Additionally, Jupiter generates significant internal heat due to the gravitational compression of its massive atmosphere and the slow release of heat from its formation. This internal heat contributes to its dynamic weather patterns and powerful storms, such as the Great Red Spot.
