Nibiru. Because he follows the coolest orbit of any planet, going back and forth and this way and that way. Plus it can only be seen by people looking for it. IT DOES TOO EXIST! ---

Jupiter. A storm for four hundred years that not even an impact with a comet can interrupt? Thats cool! Or Saturn. ---

Mercury I like hot weather, and you can’t get much hotter. And imagine the sun tanning possibilities. ---

Kithrup. ( **Elysian** , you wanted a water planet? :)) Besides, it’s got its own [website](http://www.kithrup.com/). But if we’re restricting the discussion to _real_ planets, I’ve gotta go with Earth. As Harrison Ford said in _Mosquito Coast_, “Everything we need is here!” ---

If you take Earth out of the running, I gotta go with Mars, simply because it seems like our best prospect for colonization. Saturn seems the prettiest to me though. ---

I used to like Earth, which is where I’m from, but lately I’ve become rather partial to [Planet1](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=2076056) Also, I’ve heard that Venus is nice when it’s sunny. ---

I know it blocks Marvin the Martian’s view of Venus, but I’m gonna go out on a limb and say “What is Earth?” for $500, Alex! However, as an amateur astronomer, Venus is the best for all to view: typ. easy to find in the sky, keeps nice “banker’s hours” so to speak for young star gazers, and it’s nice subject to spot in even the toy store telescopes - neat to watch the phase changes! - Jinx ---

Venus Not that I particularly like the place, I just feel that any native Venusians who are reading this thread might be getting depressed about their planet’s apparent lack of support. ---

Well my H2G2 referance was taken(I would have selected Erotican 6), and so was my Spaceballs referance. So I will have to say Tiber from _Encounter with Tiber_. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-your-favorite-planet/198946.md?page=2)
