[漢羅] 木星 ê 極光 kah 爍爁

是按怎木星 ê 兩極有遮濟爍爁？ 其實 伊 kah 地球 仝款，嘛有極光 kah 爍爁。 Kah 地球無仝 ê 是，木星 ê 爍爁 一般會 tī 兩極附近發生。 毋閣 地球大部份 ê 爍爁 是 tī 赤道發生--ê。 為著欲了解 in 有啥物 無仝，NASA 這馬有一台踅木星 leh 行 ê Juno 太空船，已經觀測著足濟極光 kah 爍爁 ê 現象 矣。 這張 影像 是 Juno ê 恆星參考元件 kha-mé-lah tī 2018 年 5 月 24 翕 ê。 看會著木星北部 雞卵形 ê 極光 kah 幾若个光點 kah 光-sûn。 正爿 ê 插圖是一个引人注目 ê 事件，是 木星 ê 爍爁 閃光。 這是離咱上近 ê 木星 極光 kah 爍爁 ê 影像之一。 Tī 地球（比木星離太陽閣較近），太陽 ê 光度有夠，會當家己予地球赤道產生比兩極閣較高溫 ê 大氣溫度，煞來驅動 亂流、風颱、kah 爍爁。 毋閣 tī 木星 to̍h 毋是按呢矣。 木星大氣 ê 溫度主要是 ùi 木星內部 來 ê（是木星形成賰 ê 能量）。 這馬 ê 假設是講，太陽光 對木星赤道 ê 大氣加溫閣較強，煞予高層 大氣 ê 溫度變化變較少。 所以 tī 赤道爍爁產生 ê 風颱才會變較少。

English Aurorae and Lightning on Jupiter

Why does so much of Jupiter's lightning occur near its poles? Similar to Earth, Jupiter experiences both aurorae and lightning. Different from Earth, though, Jupiter's lightning usually occurs near its poles -- while much of Earth's lightning occurs near its equator. To help understand the difference, NASA's Juno spacecraft, currently orbiting Jupiter, has observed numerous aurora and lightning events. The featured image, taken by Juno's Stellar Reference Unit camera on 2018 May 24, shows Jupiter's northern auroral oval and several bright dots and streaks. An eye-catching event is shown in the right inset image -- which is a flash of Jupiter's lightning -- one of the closest images of aurora and lightning ever. On Earth (which is much nearer to the Sun than Jupiter), sunlight is bright enough to create, by itself, much stronger atmospheric heating at the equator than the poles, driving turbulence, storms, and lightning. On Jupiter, in contrast, atmospheric heating comes mostly from its interior (as a remnant from its formation), leading to the hypothesis that more intense equatorial sunlight reduces temperature differences between upper atmospheric levels, hence reducing equatorial lightning-creating storms.
