The king of planets is aptly named because it not only has the most dynamic atmospheric motion, but also the most riveting cloud patterns and storms and the most majestic appearance of the giant planets.  The dramatic appearance of Jupiter stems partially because the composition of Jupiter's atmosphere includes complicated molecules such as ammonia and methane, as well as simple molecules such as helium, hydrogen, and sulfur.  The composition also includes exotic molecules such as germane.  The atmosphere of Jupiter is only a narrow surface layer, compared to the vast interior of the planet.  The three cloud decks of Jupiter are to be found at different levels in the troposphere, while haves of smog can be found higher in the atmosphere.
