Climate - very stormy with winds in excess of 500 mph.
Color - Jupiter is amazingly colorful. Red spots, yellow and orange bands, white high atmospheric methane ice clouds, blue cloud tops lower down, pretty much all the colors of the rainbow.
Rings - while Jupiter's ring system is nowhere near as elaborate as Saturn's rings, it has several.
Moons - We're discovering more all the time. Something like 24. The main ones that you can see even with a small telescope are the Galilean moons - Ganymede, Callisto, Io, and Europa.
Two interesting facts: 1. The Great Red Spot is a storm that has lasted for hundreds of years, which could swallow the entire Earth 2. Jupiter's core is tiny. Even though it's the largest planet, it has the smallest core of all the gas giants.
Shape - oval, with it's widest part at the equator.
Size - 142,984 km (88,650 miles in diameter) (11.209 Earths)

I'm really sorry, and I don't say this to be mean, but did you even look at what you had typed before submitting this question? It's just a jumble of words.
