What planet would you live on?

[Smarts 1,623]

Let's say that all nine (Pluto is still a planet to me, screw your science) planets of the solar system are habitable now. You are tired of living on Earth and want to experience life on a different planet. Where would you go and why?

 

And before anyone comes here and says that you can't live on Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, or Neptune because their gas planets, I have news for you. You can. Eat those apples.

 

Any who,I would live on Pluto. My reason for choosing Pluto is because I love the cold. I have always loved the feeling of freezing my flank off and I feel that I would enjoy life their because of it. It would also be challenging to survive there, but I'm ready for that challenge.

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,705]

Probably Pluto for the same reasons. I love the cold, it makes everything so peaceful and quiet, hence why Winter is my favorite time of year. The only very weird part would be seeing the sun so far away. It would feel so odd. Beyond that, Neptune, which is also very cold.

[Night Shadow 54]

I'd probably go with Mars because it's a little cooler but not that much.  I definitely want to get away from earth but at the same time don't want to go out too far.  Besides, I wonder what the crops would taste like grown in red dirt.  Second choice would be Pluto because I feel bad for it.  They said it wasn't a planet, well they're not scientists!!! lol

[MLP Moth 224]

An actual planet probably Jupiter because it's awesome. Fictional Naboo from star wars because it's like Earth but, 20% cooler.

[Colt 555]

The Pokemon planet!, no work can travel for free staying in pokecenters and eating for free, you can be a good for nothing PKM trainer and earn a living out of it, and all chicks are hawt. 

 

MULTIVERSE HERE I GO!!!

[Dark Moon 965]

How about the gas giants remain uninhabitable, because they have no solid ground, besides maybe the planets core, unsure of this,  and just have stations like Cloud City from Star Wars as the place where people would live.

 

I choose the red planet, Mars. It has always deeply fascinated me. Plus other planets would have extremer temperatures. Too damn cold or too damn warm for my liking. I like moderate temperatures Solid ground is always nice as well.

[Toaster Bot 183]

I'd like to live on Earth, because you know. Water, and oxygen. And things. Like economy and fellow human beings. And technology, doctors, all that good stuff.

[Harmonic Revelations 8,835]

Mars, because I get to fight demons and generally be a hardcore space marine. And I really don't see many other opportunities to do that.

 

[MatrixChicken 879]

There's this one that's made of, like, 70% water and it's got this nice oxygen stuff that you can breathe, and it seems to have the latest in technology and stuff... I think I'd like to live there.

[Flutter's lover <3 8,206]

Mars. I've always liked mars. and if it was anything liek the original "Totall Recall" with Arnold Schwarzenegger, or ed Faction, I'd be there.

[I used to be a stranger 7,994]

There's a lot of real-estate to choose from when people are loose with their definition of "planet":

Planets STUFF THAT'S IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM

 

Stuff that has an atmosphere

Stuff that has a ridiculous amount of death on it no matter how you slice it.

Stars:

• Sol (Surface gravity is 28.6g. If you weigh 200 pounds, you'd weigh 56 tons on the surface of the Sun. The surface of the sun also resembles boiling water, if the bubbles were the size of Texas, moving at Mach 15, contained many megarads of ionizing radiation and replaced "water" with "helium plasma".)

 

Planets:

• Mercury
• Venus
• Earth
• Mars
• Jupiter
• Saturn
• Uranus
• Neptune

 

Dwarf Planets:

• Ceres
• Haumea
• Makemake
• Pluto
• Eris
• Sedna

 

Major Trans-Neptunian Objects:

• 2007 OR₁₀
• Quaoar
• Orcus

 

Great Comets:

• Halley
• Hale-Bopp
• McNaught
• Caesar
• West
• Hyakutake

 

 

Asteroids (larger than 500km in any dimension)

• Pallas
• Juno
• Vesta
• Hygiea

 

Moons (ordered by distance from satellite parent unless otherwise stated.)

1. Phobos
2. Deimos

--243 Ida (asteroid, avg. diameter 31km)

4. Europa
5. Amalthea
6. Himalia
7. Thebe
8. Elara
9. Pasiphaë

--Saturn (listed largest 10 of 62. Hopefully more of them will collide or fall below Saturn's Roche Limit and become more sets of beautiful rings.)

1. Titan
2. Rhea
3. Iapetus
4. Dione
5. Tethys
6. Enceladus
7. Mimas
8. Hyperion
9. Phoebe
10. Janus

5. Miranda
6. Puck
7. Sycorax
8. Portia
9. Juliet
10. Belinda

--Neptune (listed largest 10 of 14. Jupiter's largest four moons make up for 99.4% of the mass of all its moons. Neptune's largest one constitutes 99.8% of the mass of all its moons.)

1. Triton
2. Proteus
3. Nereid

2. Styx
3. Nix
4. Kerberos
5. Hydra

--Haumea

1. Hi'iaka
2. Namaka

--Eris

1. Dysnomia

Theoretical Planets:

• Vulcan (proposed but disproven planet that orbited the sun closer than Mercury)
• Tyche (theoretical super-gas-giant several times farther than Pluto, too cold to be observed with telescopes)
• Nemesis (brown dwarf, aka 'super-hot-gas-giant/tiny-star-wannabe' that hypothetically throws comets at us, which probably killed the dinosaurs)

 

Historical Hypothetical Planets (now extinct):

• Theia (major planetoid which collided with the Earth and eventually formed into the Moon)
• "Thing 1"/Liber/Hades/Mephitis (theoretical gas giant or super-large ice planet which was ejected during a close encounter with Jupiter early on in the history of the Solar System, and flew off into interstellar space, never to be seen or heard from again.)

 

Thanks to the IAU definition exactly what a planet is, memorizing all the major objects in the Solar System is about as easy as remembering all all the nations of the world, all the states of America, all the Provinces of Canada, all the Shires of England and all of those' respective capitals.

 

Titan would be an interesting place to visit for a while.

[Zygen 6,066]

Well assuming i can't live on earth, i think i'd want to live on either neptune, for its pretty color, or on mars, because it has apparently, or had water on its surface.

 

Of course I'm pretty use to and comfortable here on earth to be honest.

[Galen 1,354]

I'd stay here on Earth tbh. I don't really see any huge reason to move to another planet even if they were proven habitable. I can understand such a thing would really help the population as it can help us expand and unite together further with space exploration, but those other planets wouldn't be home to me and I'd eventually return if I left. That said, if I did go, it would be on Mars. It's the planet closest to ours and who knows if there were ancient civilizations there that died out after some sort of disaster befell the planet.

 

As far as fictional planets go, my first choice is Naboo. It's very similar to ours, the architecture is beautiful both on the surface and underwater, and it surely has a very rich culture. My second choice is Tatooine because it's where Star Wars began, I like hot places and while the Podracing was a little overdone in the movie, it's absolutely something I'd have loved to see directly. Third choice, but certainly not the least, is Yavin IV. I know it's not a planet but it's certainly habitable, and it's a great place to train in the ways of the Force :33

[Teh Silly Luna 45]

Well, first of all, if it were Futurama-ish type world, and we could travel to pretty much any universe, then I would pick Omicron Persei 8.

 

Just mainly because of the name, and it is a livable planet, (according to Futurama).

 

[Scootalove 10,689]

I would live on Mars, to enjoy some peace and even though I would need an astronaut suit I would still at least enjoy the beauty of space.

[Gears of Halo Duty V 394]

 

Look at that beautiful planet. Neptune is where it's at ladies and gents.

 

Sure it's one of the coldest planets in the Solar System with wind speeds that make an EF-5 Tornado look like a breeze on a warm sunny day. But hey, it's blue like Earth.

 

And it's mothertrucking Neptune.

[Enemy Stand 446]

I'm gonna go with most of the people here and say Mars. It's always seemed that it may be habitable one day by me, so it's not like I haven't thought of people living there before.

[DBG 79]

Real planet: Earth. No desire to move from where things are already heavily established and stuff.

 

Fictional: Planet with Equestria... except... too many thinking of the same thing... and probably decimate it to the point where it becomes Earth II... and ruin it for those that would never even dream of harming it.

[valete 195]

If I were banished from Earth or something, I'd probably request to be sent to Mars. 

 

There are actually people who are planning on sending other people to permanently live there! 

 

It would probably suck (for me) when compared to living on Earth, though. 

[Mr. Critical 434]

I would stay on earth. You can't beat the original. Plus it gets colder the further you go from the sun. I live in texas and I freak out when I see snow. Venus would probably smell of cow farts and mercury's weather is insane.

[Eureka 1,119]

I already live on Saturn.

 

I honestly don't know anything about the solar system....

 

Im fine on Earth, thank you very much

 

But if I had to chose I would chose Pluto. That's because I like the cold .

[Zok 27]

But... but... I like Earth! *blubbers*

 

I've still got plenty to explore here. If I someday got bored of Earth, I think my next choice would be Neptune.

[NightOwl 912]

Well I do like the planet I'm living on already but maybe if mars becomes habitable in a few years from now I'd like to visit mars .  

[~Sole~ 852]

I would choose jupiter, but I'm pretty sure that's the one with the small planet sized hurricane on it. So I guess i'd choose... uranus! but seriously, ts either pluto or jupiter.

[Super Derpy 535]

Pluto all the way! I love the cold and would totally live there if it was habitable and for everyone that has posted a gas giant they will never be inhabitable there is no land! How are you supposed to live on it?
