Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 46 to 55.
Jupiter is the largest and most massive planet and is fifth in order of distance from the sun. It is well
placed for observation for several months in every year and on average is the brightest of the planets apart
from Venus, though for relatively brief periods Mars may outshine it. Jupiter’s less than 10 hour rotation
period gives it the shortest day in the solar system in so far as the principal planets are concerned. There
are no true seasons on Jupiter because the axial inclination to the perpendicular of the orbital plane is only
just over 3°-less than that for any other planet.

The most famous mark on Jupiter is the Great Red Spot. It has shown variations in both intensity and
color, and at times it has been invisible, but it always returns after a few years. At its greatest extent it
may be 40,000 kilometers long and 14,000 kilometers wide, so its surface area is greater than that of
Earth. Though the latitude of the Red Spot varies little, it drifts about in longitude. Over the past century
the total longitudinal drift has amounted to approximately 1200°. The latitude is generally very close to
-22°. It was once thought that the Red Spot might be a solid or semisolid body floating in Jupiter’s outer
gas. However, the Pioneer and Voyager results have refuted that idea and proven the Red Spot to be a
phenomenon of Jovian meteorology. Its longevity may well due to its exceptional size, but there are signs
that it is decreasing in size, and it may not be permanent. Several smaller red spots have been seen
occasionally but have not lasted.

A. to show which of the planets shines the brightest
B. to prove that Jupiter is shrinking
C. to explain why the Great Red Spot changes
D. to give an introduction to Jupiter and its Red Spot
