    Venus

    Venus
    With 462˚C temperatures, acid rain and crushing pressure, nobody will ever live on Venus. So if you are planning on taking a little road trip, here’s one stop you can cross off your list. If you want to see Venus’s beautiful mountains, you better look quickly, because the planet itself will be deciding whether to incinerate you, dissolve you or crush you first.

  • The Rings of Saturn

    The Rings of Saturn
    Playing dodge the cold ice stuff with 40 million icebergs probably doesn’t sound super-fun, especially if you are in the rings of Saturn. They are truly gorgeous, but not when you are near them. When I say near them, I mean inside them. The rings themselves range from -163˚C to -203˚C dependent on which ring you are inside.

  • Io (Moon)

    Io (Moon)
    Also known in my books as the disgusting potato moon. It is the fourth largest moon ever, and one of Jupiter’s moons. It has an amazing view of Jupiter if you were to stand on it, but with all its volcanic eruptions and random explosions, you’ll want to change your mind. It also has a bunch of overflowing rivers of molten sulfur. So yeah, beautiful.

  • The Hydrogen Sea of Jupiter

    The Hydrogen Sea of Jupiter
    You don’t want to be ANYWHERE near the sea of Jupiter. Imagine this: You are going for a friendly little swim in the hydrogen sea of Jupiter, and you are being slowly compressed and melted and yeah, you are not having a very good time. Don’t go road tripping to that theme park.

  • Titan (Moon)

    Titan (Moon)
    Titan is about 179˚C and super poisonous. In fact, if you were to mix Oxygen with the atmosphere of Titan, you would get an exploding planet. Happy times. Anyway, Titan is probably the third most dangerous place in the solar system because of that.

  • Just About Any Comet

    Just About Any Comet
    Comets are super dangerous because in addition to being unstable and having an erupting surface, it possesses an “atmosphere” consisting of gravel-like objects. If you were to land on a “calving” , let's just say, uh-oh. “Calving” means the surface of the comet is slowly breaking away. Even worse, being on a comet zooming into a star’s atmosphere If you’ve never seen that before, it basically looks like a snowball flying through hell.

  • Black Hole

    Black Hole
    A black hole's pull is so strong that even light cannot escape its darkness. So try going to a black hole as a legit object, and you would literally stretch a mile before your feet are at the center. It pretty much “eats” stars and planets, swallowing them, and breaking them apart into a zillion pieces. It's formed when a star about three times as big as our sun dies, collapses onto itself and causes an explosion called a supernova. Let’s just hope that some black hole doesn’t come and eat us.

  • Pluto

    Pluto
    Pluto’s surface contains oxygen frozen hard as rock, and lakes of liquid neon. On a clear day, the sun provides about as much heat as a full moon does back on earth. So pretty cold. The surface is usually about -238˚C which is about as cold as a Canadian winter. (JK.) So, basically, you would freeze solid in less than a nanosecond if you went to Pluto.

  • TrES 2B

    TrES 2B
    This is a fun one I kind of just added in here because it looks cool. It is about 716 light years away from our solar system, but I saw the picture, and saw how dangerous and dark it looked so I had to add it. It is actually the darkest planet ever discovered so it is pretty self-explanatory why it is dangerous. It orbits around the star GSC 03549-02811. Try memorizing that! It's a gas giant with a black “background” and reddish pinkish streaks, so personally I think it is the prettiest planet.

  • WASP-12b

    WASP-12b
    This planet is cool too, but it’s not in our solar system either. It is egg-shaped, and it is dangerous because it is being slowly torn apart by its very own star. That is also why it is egg-shaped. I think it’s cool because it is shaped like this, but it is not a planet you want to live on; you would be living with the fact that you could wake up in the morning to being torn apart completely.
