Umm…“Earth” has already been given as an answer. I assume since Anal Scurvy hasn’t acknowledge it, then it’s incorrect. Otherwise, “Earth” would be my first guess, as well. ---

Well, since it’s **Anal Scurvy** asking this question, I’m going to have to go with the **MOON** 🙂 ---

Vulcan? Not from Star Trek–the planet hypothesized to be closer to the sun than Mercury. Mercury’s orbit is irregular and couldn’t be accounted for in classical physics, so some scientists thought there might be another planet influencing it’s orbit. But then Einstein and his e=mc[sup]2[/sup] came along. If I’m understanding it correctly (if not, I’m sure **The Bad Astronomer** or some such character will come along to correct me), the force of the sun’s gravity can be thought of as an additional mass, which accounts for Mercury’s perturbations. So if you count planets that don’t really exist, I say Vulcan. ---

According to this link: [http://my.voyager.net/~stargazer/mercury.html](http://my.voyager.net/~stargazer/mercury.html) It’s the most ignored planet in the solar system. Anal Scurvey’s secret question is very open ended, with many possible answers, as I see it. Of course I suck at riddles… My WAG, on the Greek vs Roman tip, is HERMES. ---

Or maybe pravnik, along your train of thought, it could be, "What is the first _plane-T_ (plain tea) and of course that would be _english breakfast_. Nothin’ much plainer than that! ---

Nope, nope, nope. You’re still all wrong. Not even close. You don’t need to know anything at all about astronomy. **Abel** , got a great chuckle out of that. ---

Moon actually wouldn’t be a bad guess if it had anything to do with astronomy. The moon and Earth are closer in mass than any other planet/satellite (except Pluto/Charon) and some say we’re actually more of a double planet than a planet/satellite. But I digress…back to out-of-the-box… ---

What is the first planet? A planet. What is the second planet? A planet, what a coinky-dink. What is the third planet? A planet. I see a pattern. ---

“Monday.” I got it from this site: [http://www.friesian.com/week.htm](http://www.friesian.com/week.htm) > [@](#): > > the languages of Western Europe all reflect names based on the names of the naked eye planets, which included the Sun and the Moon, either in a Latin version or a corresponding Germanic version. The 1st day in Latin is named after the Sun (Solis dies), but Christians also consider that the Lord’s day (Dominicus dies), as in Greek. The 2nd day is named after the Moon (Lunae dies). The 3rd day is named after Mars (Martis dies). The 4th day is named after Mercury (Mercurii dies). The 5th day is named after Jupiter, or Jove (Jovis dies). The 6th day is named after Venus (Veneris dies). And the 7th day is named after Saturn (Saturni dies), though it can still be called the Sabbath (Sabbatum or Sabbati dies). ---

Mercury? Plain ol’, w/out translation to Latin or Greek or whatever Hermes is (which would have been my other choice)?
