Each of the planet have its own weather so far You couldn't really spend time on Jupiter's surface to experience the weather there. Jupiter is a gas giant—meaning it doesn't have a solid surface to stand on. That aside, we can still look at its weather.

Jupiter is a stormy planet that is probably best known for its Great Red Spot. The spot is actually a giant, wild storm that has been raging for more than 300 years. Uranus is known as an ice giant, and it lives up to that name. Its temperature is about -360℉.

Uranus is also tilted on its axis by 98 degrees. Scientists believe that it was knocked on its side by a large object long ago. Neptune is way out there – an average of 2.8 billion miles from the Sun. That means the ice giant is seriously cold. The average temperature on Neptune is about -360℉.

If that sounds familiar, it's because Uranus is about the same temperature. The reason why the two planets are the same temperature at such different distances from the Sun is still a mystery.

Answer:

In essence, the weather is solar-powered. Only the distant Giant Planets, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune, emit their own internal heat at a rate similar to the power that they receive from the Sun. The amount of power radiated by the Sun is enormous, roughly 1.4 kW/m2 at the distance of the Earth.
