Take that Saturn.

sorry, edit,(I new I had my facts mixed up, so I did a little check)
It wasn't a Infrared sphere i ment but an ionosphere, and it would be closer to 6 times larger then the moon (despite being so much further away)

My favourite body in the heavens is Europa, because it has the strongest chances of having oceanic life deep under the ice. So I voted for Jupiter as it's because of Europas' close orbit around jupiter that heated oceans below the ice are a possibility.
If it wasn't for the stars there would be no heavier elements or carbon atoms and therefore no rocky planets with water and therefore no Earth and no us. It has always struck scientists as a bit uncanny that everything is... well just so. Add the smallest smidgen of heat to the equation or a tad more expansion and the whole thing falls apart.
If the big bang theory is right, every atom in your body was inside a star! Now that's no less amazing than some omnipotent being making us from a pinch of dust and a spare rib.

I agree with Ancient Dragon. Where would we be without Earth?

Something else to ponder: Take a sock, as it wears and gets holes you darn the holes. Eventually after some time all the original fibres are replaced. Is it the same sock ?
Let that sink in for a moment....
Over a cycle of approximately 7 years your body replaces all it's cells!
Unfortunately entropy ensures the darning needle ultimately becomes blunt and no further darning is possible.
Sorry bit off topic, but you know planets -> universe -> life -> everything... bit hard to know where to stop.

I like Earth. =)
I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough. -The Notebook
What about that new one they just discovered, the one very like earth but with more gravity?
If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.
Earth....No doubt.....
