Jupiter!
Man you have to see it with your own eyes! I could spend hours looking at it through my 114mm Celestron telescope.

Depends on how you define "favorite". I think the good ole earth is pretty cool.
As far as observing, I like looking ar either Jupiter or Saturn thru my 10" Starfinder.

I had to go with Saturn. Those magnificent rings, the mystery of what lies beneath its surface, and the largest moon in the solar system. All reasons I love Saturn.
But Earth is pretty damn sweet also! 
edit: I wanted to correct myself. Saturn's moon Titan is actually the second largest moon. Jupiter's moon Ganymede is slightly larger. But I still stand behind my choice of Saturn as my favorite!

So, should we start the debate about whether or not Pluto is a true planet or just the largest Kuiper Belt object?
It has an elliptical orbit, even passing inside the orbit of Neptune at times. This happened recently. Between 1979 and 1999 Pluto was actually the eighth planet and Neptune was the ninth. And Pluto's orbit is also tilted 17 degrees out of the solar plane (the other 8 planets are all within a few degrees of it). There are good arguments against it, but personally I will always think of Pluto as the ninth planet.

I thought it was cool when Jupiter was changed into a sun in 2001 space odyssy... or was it 2010? Jupiter also has interesting moons.

You mean the nonexistent one that Zecharia Sitchin referred to in his books?

Maybe you're refering to the impact of the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter?
That was pretty sweet.

Jupiter is the best, hands down. Any planet that can have an eternal storm larger than earth is a winner in my book.

Well my faourite is Neptune and its Moon Triton. Neptune to me is like the last rest stop before you leave the solar system. So Lonely and so far far away.
But the big boy Jupiter is my 2nd.
