      I don't have to worry about ever being on/near all those other planets, so earth is the scariest since that's where I am when I get scared.

      Edit: plus Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism by definition is in space, so space isn't scary

      With nice features like a 16,000 km wide anticyclonic storm made up of hydrogen, helium, and pleasantly toxic chemicals like hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, phosphine, and many others with "wind" speeds up to 432 km/h

      Sounds like a fun place to visit

    I recently watched a couple of videos on the Venera program, so I'm going to say Venus. It must have been scary to find out that Venus was the opposite of all those expectations of being Earth-like. It ended up being a literal hell-world.

    First of all, Pluto isn't a planet. The Moon is more of a planet than Pluto.

    The question is obviously subjective, but for 6/8 planets it comes down to "How scary is sudden death?" Because that's what awaits a traveller with our current level of technology. Mercury is practically half on the sun, half deep space. Venus is a basically hell, fire and brimstone doesn't begin to cover it. The gas giants are collections of constant storms. Mars is literally the only other planet we can go to and not die in an hour, but we still don't have ways of making it habitable.

    Earth has a lot of downsides, but this is the only planet where Reagan, Thatcher and Kissinger died.

      counterpoint: it's also the only planet where Reagan, Thatcher and Kissinger once lived, while wielding immense power.

      Look I know Pluto and Ceres are dwarf planets, but a dwarf planet is still technically a type of planet the same way a gas giant is

    Earth is the only listed planet containing beings that experience fear. Earth quantitatively produces the most fear in the solar system.

    No "Planet X" option

    This is the censorship I was always warned about.
