Cream-in-coffee model of Jupiter and Saturn weather patterns. Jupiter's core is hotter, and has more active convection and weather patterns, as evidenced by the self-mixing of cream in the cup of hot coffee, compared to Saturn's cooler core, which has less active convection and weather patterns, seen by the settling cream in the cup of cold coffee. (The secondary effect of sunlight bringing the cloud levels higher in Jupiter above the hydrogen haze, compared to Saturn is not modeled here.)
