Which is your favorite planetary body in the solar system?

Earth is by far my favorite. It has so much cool stuff on it.

Second is Triton, Neptune's largest moon. It's in a retrograde orbit that's almost perfectly circular. Next to that it has cryovolcanoes and geysers that keep the surface complex.

Besides Earth, probably Neptune, but since it has lost its lovely surface features, it's mostly a boring blue ball. I liked Neptune from the Voyager 2 era.

Triton is very cool, but some doubt there's actually liquid nitrogen spraying out.

By the way, did you know that Uranus took a lot more pounding than was previously thought?

Top Three:

1: Earth. Largest terrestrial planet in the Solar System with fascinating landscape and for 70% covered in oceans ... ! Noticed the gravity is a but harsh though when I fell down a mountain during skiing.

2: Mars. Interesting planet with interesting landscape and more or less within our reach.

3: Venus. Brutal and unforgiving hellhole. While not too far away, exploration is very difficult due to extreme conditions on the surface.

Gotta say I also find Titan interesting.
