Solution
The correct option is D Jupiter
- Every planet in our solar system has seasons. There are several factors that affect the weather on the planets viz. the tilt of a planet's axis (which causes the seasons), the shape of its orbit around the sun, the presence or absence of a significant atmosphere, etc.
- Jupiter has an axial tilt of only 3 degrees, compared to 23 degrees tilt of the Earth. So there is literally no difference between the seasons. Moreover, because of its distance from the sun, seasons change more slowly. Thus, the length of each season is roughly three years.
