Lets see what - oh god, okay, Jupiter makes up something like two thirds of whats left. What about the Sun is the most spherical object in the solar system / known universe, the Sun has tornadoes on its surface, the Sun rotates faster at the equator, causing solar storms that eject more mass than planet Earth, the Sun is a giant fusion bomb that uses antimatter. Mercury actually has a diffuse atmosphere replenished by the same solar wind that strips it, Mercury has an orbit that took Einstein to explain, Mercury is the only planet that is tidally locked, Mercury is mostly a core of probably molten Iron, Mercury isnt as hot as Venus. Venus has acid rain, regularly resurfaces, an atmospheric pressure 90 times our own, is the brightest object in the sky during sunrise and sunset, has more carbon than a cyclist would know what to do with, but were going to go with vague mystery as opposed to suggesting the only possible hypothesis of planetoid collision during the early solar system. Earth has this damn picture and all the rest of the internet on it. Mars has... two... IT HAS THE LARGEST DORMANT VOLCANO / PILE OF ROCK IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM, A CORE SO SATURATED WITH WATER IT MIGHT AS WELL BE WATER, AN ATMOSPHERE YOUD SIMULTANEOUSLY BOIL AND FREEZE IN, DID YOU SERIOUSLY WASTE THIS ENTRY? If its a climate change joke its ok. Jupiter has more moons than Saturn, as well as the first moons observed other than our own; I agree that I imagine falling into a storm larger than a planet every time I listen to Holst, but the hexagonal storms on Saturn are much more interesting. If we forego either of these topics; Jupiters magnetic field would appear to Earth as large as the moon at night, and Saturn is 10% wider at the equator because it rotates so quickly, Jupiters magnetic field has captured enough radiation to sterilise any approaching astronauts, Saturns density has captured enough bath tub anecdotes to sterilise any serious discussion. Uranus was called George. Its literally adjunct to the fact youve stated, and at least entirely more thought provoking. Venus was the only planet initially observed with a telescope to present a phase, and thus compelling evidence of being an object, where as Uranus was considered a tail-less comet, and was predicted by Calculus beforehand. Okay, how about Uranus is the only planet on its side, featuring the same enigma as Venus. The poles of our moon are the coldest place in the solar system. Whats more interesting (and accurate) is basically any other known feature of Neptune, like how we dont know why it has weather (whether or not the recent liquid Hydrogen studies will define this), or the theorised diamond icebergs in its interior, or the capricious nature of its largest observed storm. Well at least Pluto wasnt on the list. I wish Pluto fans would care as much about Ceres, or anything.
