2. Jupiter - Has the giant red spot

3. Mercury - Smallest of the terrestrial planets

4. Saturn - Has the most visible rings

5. Pluto - Is a Kuiper Belt Object

Explanation:

• Mars - Most habitable other than earth. It is so because mars has an environment whose structure is very similar to that of earth. Also it is the only planet which has traces of water just like earth and thus it can support life in some form.

• Jupiter - Has the giant red spot which is nothing but an excessive pressure region in Jupiter. It is more or less like a spinning storm having a speed of 435 Km/hr

• Mercury - Smallest of the terrestrial planets. Mercury is the smallest planet in the solar system with a radius of 2440 km.

• Saturn - Has the most visible rings. The rings of Saturn can be viewed through a telescope of even very low magnification.

• Pluto - Is a Kuiper Belt Object. All the Kuiper Belt Objects are made up of frozen methane, ammonia and water just like the composition of pluto.
