It’s quite hard to narrow down to just one. So I’ll name two – assuming you’re talking about a planet in our own solar system
These are other than Earth obviously because it’s our home planet and we exist only and only because it exists.
The first would be Jupiter. It’s absolutely gigantic – the biggest planet in the solar system, it’s 1600 times the size of Earth! What’s amazing is that it has a super short day (10 hours long) compared to Earth. If my job was on Jupiter, assuming I could breathe and live and all that, I’d start my day at 9am and be done in 2 hours. Also the colors – so beautiful and the reason behind them is still unclear till date. What a mystery!
The second would be Mars. I’m quite intrigued by the fact that there might have been or still is a possibility of life on the planet. There have been many space missions for Mars and I’m hopeful our knowledge about Mars will only increase in the coming years. Also I love that it’s possible to look at Mars in our night sky, even without a telescope. It feels all too familiar and unknown at the same time – such a challenge!

I’ll have to say Earth (I know, how boring). But it’s the only planet (that we know of) that we can live on. I like how the Earth has so many different organisms just living together and co-existing!
