What's your favorite planet?

[WWAPD 126]

I chose Neptune cuz it was like named after the Roman god of the sea and shit.

 

I used to be super fascinated with space, but I never paid much attention to our solar system.

[Tual 152]

I've always loved Mars. It's always been awesome in my opinion, and quite interesting. Besides, it is such a nice shade of red, and reminds me of fire. 

Besides, Sailor Mars is also best Sailor Scout, so..Yeah. Best planet. :v 

[ghostfacekiller39 23,860]

Mercury has always been my personal favorite, without a doubt

 

I discovered this planet in 3rd grade; it was free time, where it was basically indoors recess, and I had just moved into that school a week or two before. I was shy, and, as a result, didn't have anyone to play with. So, I picked up this book about planets and started reading it everyday; I always found Mercury to be the most fascinating.

 

It's a scalding hit planet that is closest to the sun, and has the shortest orbit of any of the planets in our solar system as a result. It's namesake was Mercury, who I believe was essentially a messenger boy for the gods; it has a grand total of 0 moons, because, let's face it; moons are too mainstream.

 

There's a few above and beyond favorites I have; favorite pony, favorite sport, favorite guitar brand, favorite bird, and favorite planet Everything else has always been pretty fair game with me.

Pluto ofcourse!

i don't care they took away it's title as genuine planet. it'll always be the most awesome planet in my book!

[Castle Bleck 19,376]

 

Uranus is so big and beautiful.

 

 

[FlickerHush 46]

Pluto! Even though it's not a planet anymore it's so tiny and cute and he's just chilling out there.

 

I also really like Saturn just because it looks cool with all the rings n stuff

[True Rarity 1,240]

Venus has always been my favorite inner planet and Saturn my favorite outer planet. I've confused myself that way, though. I despise heat, so why don't I like Uranus or Neptune?

[Eureka 1,119]

Saturn.

 

It has those super badass and beautiful rings.

 

Ive always found it beautiful

 

[DubWolf 17,264]

I guess it's probably Neptune since I was find if its color when I was young and it's wayyy out in the depths of space. Then again, I named one of my accounts somewhere Saturn2.0; sounds better than Neptune2.0.

[Guest90210 3,568]

Pluto (even though it isn't a planet anymore).

 

Why? Well, the name is cool (I considered having Pluto as my username on these forums at one point) and it's the most distant planet so it must be the coldest which I've always liked Winter.

 

The artist renditions are pretty cool too

I'm at a tie between the planet's Mars and Jupiter, but I would choose Jupiter if I only have to choose one. 

 

Why I like Mars: 

-Interestingly, a planet that once was like Earth

-Home to the tallest mountain in the solar system, Olympus Mons. 

-The song by Composer Gustav Holst is one of my favourite pieces of classical music. 

-The mystery of the Great Stone Face of Mars. 

 

Why I like Jupiter: 

-Largest planet in the Solar System

-The collision of Comet Shoemaker Levy 9 was an interesting event for Jupiter back in 1994

-Home to one of my favourite moons in the Solar System, Europa. Known to possibly have a sub-surface ocean below it's icy surface.

 

My other favourite moons include Titan and Mimas, which are both moons of Saturn. Titan has an atmosphere, and Mimas has a very large crater, that makes it resemble the Death Star from Star Wars. 

[Ponies n Pizza 38]

I like Mars because it is so FIERYYYYYY

[Nerdy Luigi 2,065]

Mars... It's just an interesting planet.

It has the largest volcanic mountain known to date, and it's my favorite color. Also, it is the second most habitable, behind Earth, this one. It also still has some life. No really. Bacteria grows on Mars. But we can't.

 

Fictional: that honor goes to my own made fictional planet, called Felinos, simply because it's primary inhabitants are cat-like humanoids. It has different elements that don't naturally occur in this universe. Like a certain green-ish metal that beats titanium in toughness and lightweight-ness.

Mars, for one reason: We can terraform it! The technology already exists to give it a warm, breathable atmosphere. In 200 years we can make a 2nd earth right here in our own solar system.

 

~~ I was born way too early.

[GameytheGeemer 147]

In this solar system, Venus. It's the hottest in the solar system.

 

Out side of the solar system, planets like

 

HD 189773b: Where it's constantly raining shards of glass at Mach 5

 

Gliese 436 b: Where it is a frozen ball of ice that's on fire

 

And can't forget Gliese 581 c. That place has black plants and red skys. It is a hellish nightmare world.

etc etc.

Jupiter is fucking HUGE. It fits into the sun about four times. The big red spot is as big as Earth itself.

[Steel Sunrise 23]

If moons count I'd have to say Io, if not then probably Uranus.

[Moonbutt 87]

Venus, the female planet. My favorite star would be Arcturus. Look at the magnitude.

Ragol.

We will one day make contact with the Rag Rappies.

[CC_Maud_Pie 6,431]

While Jupiter and Saturn look cool, my favorite planet would be Mars.

 

Why? Because it looks interesting and lots of research has been done on it. Also, it's interesting how much people compare it to Earth and even consider visiting it. When I was in elementary school, we went to Chabot Space and Learning Center and did a Mission To Mars simulator. I was a bit scared of it since I was young but looking back, I thought it was cool.

[Pastel 7,630]

I like Jupiter beause it's the biggest planet, but my favorite is Saturn (those rings ).

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,161]

I have three answers:

 

1. Mars - Because of potential study and relative ease of access.

 

2. Venus - Earth's so-called sister, I find it fascinating that we have probes landed.

 

3. The newest one we discover.

[CheeryFox 23,821]

Jupiter is fucking HUGE. It fits into the sun about four times. The big red spot is as big as Earth itself.

 

Probably closer to 10^3.

Neptune for me because it's blue and gorgeous. 

[TSD 86]

The Forbidden Planet.

 

Because its forbidden, and therefore inherently sexy.

My instant reaction to this question was Neptune. Neptune was my favourite when I was younger and it remains so today. I love the name and colour in particular.
