Your Say

They forgot the asteroid belt. Lame. And all those affirmative action planets.... Makemake indeed.

The sizes of the Earth and Venus in this diagram are equal, with Venus slightly larger if anything. This is inaccurate - Venus is slightly, but even at this scale noticably, smaller than the Earth.

Affirmative action planets! LOL! I wonder if we could elect Obama President of one of them, and then let him rule over the Solar System - from there? Or maybe even a real planet, like Uranus. That would work for me, too.
