Jets Streams
EQUATORIAL JETS
Extreme Wind Speeds
Saturn’s equatorial jet streams are among the fastest in the solar system, driven by the planet's rapid rotation and internal heat.
Eastward flowing gas currents.
Exceeding the local speed of sound.

NEPTUNIAN EXTREMES
Neptune holds the record with westward winds reaching **2,100 km/h** (1,300 mph). This is faster than the speed of sound in its cold, hydrogen-rich atmosphere.
VOYAGER 2 DATASATURNIAN BELTS
Saturn's equatorial jet stream moves at roughly **1,800 km/h**. These winds are "prograde," meaning they orbit the planet faster than the planet rotates itself.
ATMOSPHERIC FLOWFLUID STABILITY
Because these planets have no solid surface, there is no friction to slow the winds down. Deep internal convection provides a constant energy source.
