Jupiters atmosphere

interesting facts about the Jupiters atmosphere I’ve found here:

"Dynamics of Jupiter’s Atmosphere" (pdf 1.3MB) by Andrew P. Ingersoll

http://www.lpl.arizona.edu/~showman/publications/ingersolletal-2004.pdf

absorbed sunlight power is at Jupiter only 3.3% that at Earth
and the ratio of Jupiters internal power to absorbed Solar power is 0.7
(at Earth 2x10^-4)

e.a.
