Hollywood, the news media and an impartial panel of jurors have unanimously selected Earth from the billions of planets as our official favorite planet. It has a long history of being our beloved home and the base that all our spacemen and spacewomen return to after journeys in space. It was noted that there are planets closer to the sun and planets farther out in the solar system. Jupiter has storms that last for 300 years and Earth has nothing that can compare with that (so far). But, all in all, Earth is our favorite planet. Most of us were actually conceived and born right on the surface of good ol' Terra and we have a warm place in our hearts for this medium-sized ball with just the right tilt.
