      I like Earth! But failing that, Mars and Jupiter are interesting. Jupiter has lots of fun moons, like Europa which has oceans under its frozen surface, or Titan, which has strange weather and chemistry. Mars is great because we are finding new things about it every day from satellites and rovers on the surface.

      I’m gonna say earth. It’s by far the most fun planet, all the others are too hot or cold.

      I’m going with earth too – because it’s the most active planet. I just think its’ crazy that since it formed 4.5 billion years ago it’s reworked itself, changed so much and will continue to do so. All the other planets are tectonically inactive or dead (although Venus has volcanoes and some moons in the solar system have ice-tectonics, which is like an entire planet of ice shifting around)

      Saturn. No idea why, other than she’s pretty. She really is pretty – if you ever get a chance to look at Saturn through a telescope, you should! Beautiful! (We had our scope out once and some people took a look through it and were convinced we’d stuck a picture on the lens!)

      I do feel bad for Pluto though since he got demoted 🙁 Shame, he’s like the loser kid nobody wants to hang out with anymore.

      Kepler 37b and c – these planets orbit 2 stars! Imaging what an awesome sunset you could get with 2 suns.
