Only a few planets in our Solar System are known to have active thunderstorms, primarily focusing on Earth and Jupiter. Earth's thunderstorms are characterized by their frequency and intensity, driven by its water-rich atmosphere. Jupiter experiences massive storms, including the Great Red Spot, which is a persistent anticyclonic storm, and has been observed to have lightning activity that is significantly more powerful than that on Earth. Saturn also exhibits storm activity, with large-scale storms occurring approximately every 30 Earth years, producing lightning strikes that can be detected from Earth. Overall, while thunderstorms are rare on other planets, the phenomena observed on Jupiter and Saturn highlight the complexity of atmospheric dynamics beyond Earth.
