Does_it_Rain_Diamonds_on_Jupiter_and_Saturn__

Scientists believe that it can actually rain diamonds on Jupiter and Saturn. These planets have methane rich atmospheres.

During storms, lightning turns methane in clouds into soot. As soot begins to fall, it is subjected to intense temperatures and pressures. These conditions squeeze the soot into chunks of graphite. As the pressure increases, graphite is compressed, making it literally rain diamonds!!
