Voyager data on the optical and radio-frequency detection of lightning discharges in the atmosphere of Jupiter suggest a stroke rate significantly lower than on the earth. The efficiency of conversion of atmospheric convective energy flux into lightning is almost certainly less than on the earth, probably near 10(-7) rather than the terrestrial value of 10(-4). At this level the rate of production of complex organic molecules by lightning and by thunder shock waves is negligible compared to the rates of known photochemical processes for forming colored inorganic solids.
旅行者号关于木星大气中闪电放电的光学和射频探测数据表明，其雷击发生率明显低于地球。大气对流能量通量转化为闪电的效率几乎肯定低于地球，可能接近10^(-7)，而非地球的10^(-4)。在这个水平上，与形成有色无机固体的已知光化学过程的速率相比，闪电和雷冲击波产生复杂有机分子的速率可以忽略不计。
