Jupiter has super strong winds and massive storms, including the iconic Great Red Spot, a storm bigger than Earth! At the poles, winds can reach up to 1440 km/h.

Saturn is even windier! It has some of the fastest, but not the fastest winds in our Solar System blow. Winds here can reach 1800 km/h.

Venus has super-rotating winds that race around the planet up to 60x faster than Venus itself spins. That’s way faster than Earth’s winds, which top out at 10–20% of our planet’s rotation speed.

Mars has a thin atmosphere, so winds are usually gentle. But during dust storms, they can kick up to around 100 km/h.

Neptune holds the record for the fastest winds in the Solar System, blowing at over 2000 km/h!

For context: the fastest wind ever recorded on Earth? 408 km/h—during a massive tornado in Australia.
