Jupiter from earth would look good, reminds me of the Ewoks and Star wars.

If any planet of jupiter or Saturn stature came near us, we would either be sucked to death like a meteorite by its Gforce, or we would start orbiting around it like a moth. Either way, our atmosphere would go like a fart. Dead, no life on earth

Did you know that if the sun were to be replaced with a black hole of equal mass, all planets would continue revolving as if nothing happened?
