Jupiter's fast rotational period (less than 10 hours) causes sustained winds in excess of more than 400 mph. Because of this, Jupiter's clouds are elongated and appear to be strips. The effect is also caused by the atmospheric elements hydrogen and helium being manipulated by the winds.

Jupiter's stripy appearance is caused by its alternating bands of clouds, made up of different types of gas and ice particles. The light and dark bands are created by wind patterns that flow in opposite directions, resulting in the distinct stripes that we see on the planet's surface.
