What is your favourite planet?

Post #1by Zabumon » 06.10.2004, 01:47

I'd like to know what the most popular planets are.

Mine is without doubt Saturn, I always liked it ever since I was a child. I recently started liking Uranus and Neptune a little more because they're way too ignored (It's true, in every encyclopedia I read they only share a half-page when all the other planets get 3 pages.).

The Earth doesn't count of course. I put Pluto because it seems to be popular.

The planets I most like are Saturn, HD 28185b and Tihocanuaran, a planet I created orbiting around a W5V star called Rabud, that I also created.

I'm still a sucker for Mars.

May I ask why you have Venus listed before Mercury?

So where's the Home Planet?

Surely the Earth ought to get at least *some* consideration as we all
live here. :lol:

Take care, Bob

That's why I didn't put it. It would be unfair for the other planets, wouldn't it?

I'm surprised, both Neptune and Uranus are equal to Jupiter so far. Can't the persons who voted for them explain their choice?

Well I wouldn't vote for it simply because we live here. I just thought that
the planet does have interesting features when compared to the other
planets in the Solar System.

By the way, I like Neptune because of its rings, its beautiful blue texture,
its ever-changing atmosphere and its mysterious quality.

Take care, Bob

I like most of the planets, but venus is hell, literally. If anybody lives in England they'd probably seenspace oddessy on BBC 1 which is a futuristic documenty drama thing which shows a group of astronoughts travel to every planet except Mercury and does a scientifically correct representation of the surface of venus which was cool (hot)

I missed the first episode last Tuesday, but I see there is a re-run this Sunday at 3:15 pm on BBC 2. :D
