Welcome to the new Sun Competition, where the Sun rewards the planets that stand out in... anything! Today, we'll find out who the closest planet to every other planet is!

Fun Facts:
There is an error in the episode where Uranus is drawn without rings during the first scene. Or maybe the Sun's bright rays just obscured the faint rings in its glare.

00:00ROTSAR mission log number one.
00:02Uh, so planets talk.
00:04Either that or I've lost my mind.
00:07Right now they're gathering for some horrific event.
00:10I fear for my life.
00:12Hello, planets!
00:13Welcome to our newest competition!
00:16Do we really have to do this every-
00:18Yes we do!
00:19Ahem, what I mean is we have to celebrate what makes each of us special.
00:23Well, I don't need a reminder.
00:25Heh heh heh, shut up, dude.
00:27This time, the solar trophy will be rewarded to the planet that's closer to every other planet.
00:32Uh, sun?
00:34Yes, father?
00:35Ha ha! See what I did there?
00:36Yeah, uh, how exactly does that work?
00:39We're usually closer to the planets near our orbit.
00:42Exactly! This is dumb!
00:44Well, there must be a planet that's closer to every other planet on average, right?
00:49Uh, hey, wouldn't that be me?
00:52You? Ha! What gives?
00:54Well, I'm closer to the sun.
00:56So?
00:57Well, think about it.
00:58Even if you were close to, let's say, the Earth, most of the time the distance between you two is very large.
01:04Same thing happens with everyone else.
01:06And how does that make you the winner?
01:08Well, the distance from every planet to the sun doesn't change much.
01:12And since my orbit is a lot closer to the sun than most of you, I'm never really too far away from any of you.
01:19That's true.
01:20Nice one, Mercury.
01:21Whoa! Mercury finally wins one of these things!
01:23You're the man! I mean, the planet!
01:25In that case, the winner of the sun trophy is... Mercury!
01:30Gee, thanks, guys.
01:31I don't know what to say right now.
01:33I'm so...
01:34Oh, boy!
