Answer:

Jupiter is approximately 318 times bigger than the earth. So, it is expected that its hurricanes would be very massive as well.

Step-by-step explanation:

A hurricane is a tropical cyclone, a storm with a very violent wind. It is labeled a cyclone because of its cyclic nature.

The Great Red Spot of Jupiter is a giant storm about twice as large as Earth, which in its southern hemisphere orbits the globe. This at least twice the speed of the most dangerous and most destructive hurricanes on Earth, which can produce wind speeds of approximately 280 km/h.

So it means that if there were to be a great red 'jupiterian' spot on earth it would blow the earth away.
