Fly me to the moon and let me play among the stars,
let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars
Will just sang that at me.
However…
Since Mars and Jupiter have inclinations to the ecliptic of only 1.85 degrees and 1.31 degrees respectively, there would be no discernable seasons, so spring on Mars and Juptier wouldn’t exist.

I’d like to visit the great red blob of confusion that so gracefully swirls on Jupiter.
No-one likes Jupiter because it’s so big. But I do.

Yeah, Jupiter’s definitely the fat kid…
