What is great red spot?

                                         What is great red spot?

The planet Jupiter is known as great red spot.  The atmosphere of Jupiter is mainly made of molecular hydrogen and helium.
The atmosphere of Jupiter lacks a clear lower boundary. It shows a wide range of active phenomena,  including cyclones, storms and lightning.
The atmosphere consists of great red spot. It is the largest known vortex in the solar system. It could engulf several earths.
Jupiter also has powerful storms, accompanied by lightning strikes. But it is not known exactly what causes great red spot's red colour. But experiments suggest that red colour may be caused by complex organic molecules.
