If you jump straight up on each of the solar system bodies, which planet would you jump the highest?.least?.?

Highest on Pluto and lowest on Jupiter. \n\nOK, Pluto isn't a planet any more, but you did say bodies and not planets. OK, Jupiter has no solid surface, at least not until thousands of miles down in the planet. OK, on a small asteroid you could jump higher than on Pluto. In fact,on a small enough asteroid you could jump off it and never fall back because you have exceeded escape velocity. So highest would really be from any of millions of asteroids or meteoroids. But I digress.

There's really only one 'icy planet', and that's Pluto.  Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are all terrestrial planets, while Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are all jovian.  That leaves Pluto, and maybe that new one if they decide to call it a planet.

There are two ways to answer your question - \n\nThe orbit of Venus is closest to the orbit of Earth.\n\nHowever, depending on the current positions of the planets in their relative orbits... Mars or Mercury could be closest to Earth.\n\nToday, it appears that Venus is the closest planet.\n\nTwo months from now, Mercury will be the closest planet to Earth.\n\nSee the attached link for a pretty nifty orbit simulator from the NASA /JPL website.

I'll take the unlisted 4th option.  The only intelligent humanoid on a planet ruled by apes.  I pretty much function that way right now so I would be immediately up and running.

the planet?Pluto is the farthest planet from the Sun (usually) and by far the smallest. Pluto is smaller than seven of the solar system's moons (the Moon, Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, Titan and Triton). \n\n        orbit:    5,913,520,000 km (39.5 AU) from the Sun (average)\n        diameter: 2274 km\n        mass:     1.27e22 kg\nIn Roman mythology, Pluto (Greek: Hades) is the god of the underworld. The planet received this name (after many other suggestions) perhaps because it's so far from the Sun that it is in perpetual darkness and perhaps because "PL" are the initials of Percival Lowell. \nPluto was discovered in 1930 by a fortunate accident. Calculations which later turned out to be in error had predicted a planet beyond Neptune, based on the motions of Uranus and Neptune. Not knowing of the error, Clyde W. Tombaugh at Lowell Observatory in Arizona did a very careful sky survey which turned up Pluto anyway. \nAfter the discovery of Pluto, it was quickly determined that Pluto was too small to account for the discrepancies in the orbits of the other planets. The search for Planet X continued but nothing was found. Nor is it likely that it ever will be: the discrepancies vanish if the mass of Neptune determined from the Voyager 2 encounter with Neptune is used. There is no Planet X. But that doesn't mean there aren't other objects out there, only that there isn't a relatively large and close one like Planet X was assumed to be. In fact, we now know that there are a very large number of smaller objects in the Kuiper Belt beyond the orbit of Neptune. \nPluto is the only planet that has not been visited by a spacecraft. Even the Hubble Space Telescope can resolve only the largest features on its surface (left and above). A spacecraft called New Horizons was launched in January 2006. If all goes well it should reach Pluto in 2015. \nFortunately, Pluto has a satellite, Charon. By good fortune, Charon was discovered (in 1978) just before its orbital plane moved edge-on toward the inner solar system. It was therefore possible to observe many transits of Pluto over Charon and vice versa. By carefully calculating which portions of which body would be covered at what times, and watching brightness curves, astronomers were able to construct a rough map of light and dark areas on both bodies. \nIn late 2005, a team using the Hubble Space Telescope discovered two additional tiny moons orbiting Pluto. Provisionally designated S/2005 P1 and S/2005 P2, they will be assigned real names when the discovery is confirmed. They are estimated to be between 60 and 200 kilometers in diameter. \nPluto's radius is not well known. JPL's value of 1137 is given with an error of +/-8, almost one percent. \nThough the sum of the masses of Pluto and Charon is known pretty well (it can be determined from careful measurements of the period and radius of Charon's orbit and basic physics) the individual masses of Pluto and Charon are difficult to determine because that requires determining their mutual motions around the center of mass of the system which requires much finer measurements -- they're so small and far away that even HST has difficulty. The ratio of their masses is probably somewhere between 0.084 and 0.157; more observations are underway but we won't get really accurate data until a spacecraft is sent. \nPluto is the second most contrasty body in the Solar System (after Iapetus). \nThere are some who think Pluto would be better classified as a large asteroid or comet rather than as a planet. Some consider it to be one of the larger Kuiper Belt objects (also known as Trans-Neptunian Objects). There is considerable merit to the latter position, but historically Pluto has been classified as a planet and it is very likely to remain so. Further complicating the situation, one such object (2003UB313) was recently discovered that is almost certainly larger than Pluto. Should it, too, be classified as

Let's imagine that there's not lava inside, then as you ascend, you would slowly slowdown, at the center of the planet you wopuld experience zero-gravity, then if you push yourself towards the south pole, you would have to climb out --- you would not be falling, but climbing now.\n\nSo you would come out head-first.\n\nBut it is technically impossible, because of the heat and the pressure at great dephs.

(to the tune of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star")\n\nI know the planets one by one\nStarting with the one that's closest to the sun.\nMercury, Venus, Earth and Mars,\nAre the first four among the stars.\nJupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune\nAre the next planets in my tune.\nPluto's the farthest one from the sun.\nI know the planets one by one.\n\nIf you like it choose it as best answer...... It would be a "Thank You" for what I've done.

Unknown, of course. But the largest planet in our SOLAR SYSTEM is Jupiter.

No one knows, at it's current rate of energy useage, a few million years. Which planet would I choose? Can't, you & I are already dead, besides all planets in our solar system would be lifeless (no sun).

Lets see how nifty each planet is!!!  xD\n\nMercury:  It has extremly hot days and extremly cold nights!!  Everyday while the sun is shining you could go swimming!  Or stuff like that!  But you couldn't plant a garden.  =(  But you COULD grill hambergers without spending a billion and two bucks with a grill.  You wouldn't have to use the microwave in order to make hot coco  At night it's cold, you could make a dirt snowman. o.0 there is no snow on Mercury.  Or you would watch your bugers freeze and you could keep your icecream all nice and cold! ^_^\n\nVenus:  Extremly acidic weather, pretty nifty! Robots disinagrate in it's weather in 2 hours.  Pretty dang nifty if you ask me!  Enough has been told!!!  ♥ Venus\nEarth:  Our home planet, pretty senery, accual trees and lakes here!\n\nMars:  Has 3 mile high mountain, Mount Olympus!!! ((is that what it's called?)) *drools*  Scale it!  Live it!  Rock climbing!  Repelling!  falling off of it!!!  *ohh that's fun*  It has burly a land scape, but who cares?  With a VERY tall mountain!  ^_^\n\nJupiter:  Biggist hurricane in the solar system, a lot of moons, each comes with a different theme!  *Europa would be cool*  Is the biggest planet in the solar system!!!\n  \nSaturn:  Nifty rings!!  Can float in water!  Is the lightest planet EVER and a really big one also!  Almost as big as Jupiter!  Has a really cool color!  The rings would be so awsome to invent sports on!  To make colonies there, to put theme parks there!  Ohh heaven!\n\nNeptune:  Pretty blue planet, freakish weather with the Scooter going around it every once in a while!  Pretty big with nifty moons!  Very calming to look at, and day and night you could see the stars!!!\n\nUranus:  It's axis are totaly messed up!  Insted of horozontal they're virtical!  It would be so cool to see the sun!  Has a greenish color, its atmosphere has a lot of ammonia so you don't really need to go buy the Pine Sol in order to clean your bathroom!  Very nice color, very nice moons, and you can see the crystal clear sky with the stars glistening, and the ring around it!\n\nPluto:  Cold!  Ice!  2-3 miles round!!  Small small SMALL!!!  It's moon is 2/3 the size of it, scientists wonder if it should even be called a planet, or at least both of them planets!  Pretty nifty\nSedna:  Don't know about it!\nPlanet X:  Does it RLLY exist???\n\nIndesisive!!!  Love Saturn's rings, love Mars and Neptune.  I would go with either Uranus or Mars.  ^_^

An ion engine will get you there the fastest. You get the biggest delta-vee per kg of exhaust. \n\nProblem is, in general you only get one encounter with a specific planet once each solar orbit, and you can only get a kick so large each time. I suppose you can hypothesize a super convenient planetary alignment that could shave off some time, but you might spend a long time waiting for that particular configuration.  A lot of really smart people spent a lot of time developing the computational tools to come up with the VEEGA and VVEJGA options.  I doubt the population here is going to come up with anything a lot better.\n\nYou can read more about the DS1 ion propulsion experimental system here:\nhttp://nmp.nasa.gov/ds1/tech/ionpropfaq.html\n\nThe first science mission using ion propulsion is the Pluto bound New Horizons.  Thanks to this tech, it will reach pluto in 10 short years and reaches Jupiter for a gravity assist in only 1 year.\n\nhttp://pluto.jhuapl.edu/mission/mission_timeline.html
