What is your favourite planet of the solar system?

Mine is Venus, because it always shines brighter than any star in the night sky. Even though it is a hot hell covered in a dense cloud cover.

The one that's made out of cheese. I wonder what it taste like.:thumbup1:

Wow... I did not expect that!

You know science has confirmed that there are no planets made of cheese in the solar system.

I used to have a keen interest in the solar system as a kid and I read obsessively about it. My mom said that in retrospect it was when she first learned that I had AS even though she didn't know what it was at the time.

I always had an affinity for Neptune and Uranus. No real reason. I like the colors and the aesthetic. Neptune is a planet of ice and freezing gas while Uranus has no solid land on it. I thought that was cool.

AS?

My favourite planet would have to be Mars, the Red Planet, and the most habitable of all of them apart from Earth.

My favourite dwarf planet would be Ceres (in the asteroid belt between between Mars and Jupiter), because if there's significant water there then that could also be colonised nicely.


AS?

Asperger's Syndrome. I was diagnosed with it when I was young.

also gas giants are cool as fuck
a surprising amount of people don't know that most planets out there haven't got much solid land

So far Earth is the only ball of dirt orbiting the Sun that we can live on so I'll have to with that. Mars may have life (as I understand there is currently some Internet "buzz" over whether Discovery found amino acids reflecting life or perhaps life itself, that would be cool.

Someday perhaps Venus could be terraformed and be made into a vast tropical paradise

Titan or one of the Jovian moons have possibilities. As far as beauty Jupiter or Saturn.

Still currently, nothing compares with Mother Gaia.

Well Earth is the only planet that isn't classless and stateless so fuck Earth.

Amino acids and simple organic compounds haven't evolved class society yet. As far as I know they haven't reached primitive communism yet. Maybe we can get something going withfree hydrogen atoms.

Once you find a way to lower the greenhouse effect of Venus in order to stop the constant storms, tornadoes, and sulfuric acid rain.

I'm interested in the ones closer to the Sun than Earth is, namely Venus and Mercury.

If the OP was an attractive female I would go with Uranus.:D The only other thought that popped into my mind was Mars, being the red planet and all. Noticed that a few posters went with Mars and a few others Uranus.:D

You know science has never confirmed your right to confirm what science can or can not confirm.:confused:

Don't for Europa, with its (most likely) liquid water oceans under its icy crust.

And on that note: No one has Jupiter as definite winner? My my. I'll adopt him then, because of having the most awesome storm in the solar system (the Great Red Spot is about three times the size of Earth) and being in general the nicest guy, protecting us from comets and such.

Saturn's pretty badass. It's just like 'yeah I'm packing some serious rings, what of it? Ain't my fault you're all jealous.'

Yes, the planets talk to each other :)

Jupiter, something about it is so terrifying and surreal. Even though there is no sound in space, I like to imagine that if you were falling toward it in space you would hear a constant loud hum or drone, just getting louder and louder.

My second favorite is uranus, it too seems surreal and odd. I like that it's poles run east to west as opposed to north to south, very strange.

Venus has a soft spot in my heart. I like how if it were somehow possible to get the cloud cover off and speed up it's dismally slow rotation (it's day is longer than it's year!) it would be instantly more habitable than earth, if we were to terraform it.

Yeah, without fixing the rotation speed somehow, we would keep the issue of huge and violent storms, even if we manage to cool off and thin the atmosphere to appropriate levels.
