      Hmm…I’m not sure I have a least favourite, I like them all! There are some I probably wouldn’t want to live on though, like Venus with its high temperatures, high pressures, extreme winds and acid rain!

      @the gluten free falcon I agree with Steven – Venus is planet hell. Despite being very similar in size and structure to the Earth. The temperatures are hot enough to melt lead, the pressures equivalent to nearly a kilometre down in the ocean. Something went wrong in Venus’ history – a runaway greenhouse effect that had temperatures soaring, evaporating all the water. Oh, and there’s all that acid rain…..

      Mine’s probably Mercury. I think the others are a lot prettier! Plus imagine how hot it’d be… (and cold at night!)

      I like learning about all the planets (Mercury has “Weird Terrain”, Venus has volcanoes and rains battery acid, Mars has the biggest extinct volcanoes in the solar system and it’s moons are doomed, Jupiter is massive and has awesome moons, Saturn is less dense than water, Uranus is sideways (???) and Neptune has the fastest winds in the solar system! Super cool.) But most of them would kill me if I went there, so that would be a problem.
