Why don't Jupiter's clouds mix to a uniform colour eventually?
I've seen explanations that 'it's convection'. Sure, that explains the movement and the bands, but not why they manage to remain so distinct.
You can pour milk in coffee and it will eventually mix through the action of convection. Convection itself is not something that prevents different elements from mixing together, so what gives? That thing looks more like coloured oils on water.
