Jupiter's temperature is 50-100 degrees colder than the Earth. In order
for the blue sky to appear, the planet must have the right extend of
aerosols size to disseminate light more strongly. Bigger aerosols would tend
to scatter light more, meaning the atmosphere would appear to have a red
tinge at all angles above the horizon rather than having a blue color.
Detecting from Jupiter's temperature, we can say that the upper layers of
the atmosphere from Jupiter is made of snowflakes and ice crystals, which
are too larger of a size for aerosols to produce blue sky. Unless there
are other reasons for Jupiter to have a bluish color atmosphere, we are
not sure why most of the artists often shows Jupiter's atmosphere color in
bluish tone.
