Saturn's atmosphere is less stormy than Jupiter's primarily due to its lower mass and reduced energy input from the Sun, which limits convection currents essential for weather formation. However, the differences in atmospheric activity cannot be solely attributed to solar proximity, as other factors such as gravity effects from moons, atmospheric composition, and internal heat from a hot core also play significant roles. While distance from the Sun contributes to atmospheric dynamics, it is not the only influence, as evidenced by Neptune's active atmosphere despite its greater distance. The interplay of these various factors makes it complex to pinpoint a single reason for the differences in storm activity between the two gas giants. Overall, multiple variables shape the atmospheric characteristics of Saturn and Jupiter.
