JUPITER! Thanks for this post, it was really great to get that perspective on their size. Uranus and Neptune are pretty evenly matched in size. A sky with Saturn in it, or really any of them, would be beautiful.

Jupiter seemed like the most amazing, but I actually thought that Venus would look the most beautiful, or perhaps Mars. Neptune's blue would be a soothing sight.

Of course, I'm pretty sure the gravitational pull of any of them (especially the big ones like Jupiter) would just end up with Earth being destroyed...

Well, if doom were to be certain, it certainly would be nice if it at least gave a nice view.
