This infographic is a bit off on a few of them. On Neptune and Saturn "surface" gravity is only modestly higher than on earth and atmospheric density is fairly modest too along the cloudy layer that we could call the surface of these planets.You'd either freeze to death or suffocate well before being crushed by falling deeper down on any of them.
As for Pluto, average surface temperature sits at -394 Fahrenheit, so damn cold that you'd flash-freeze nearly solid in seconds, well before you'd suffocate. This applies even if we take into account a near total lack of atmospheric pressure (mainly because most of its atmosphere is goddam frozen to the surface because of the same deep cold)..
And why petrification for Mars, but not Pluto? If it's because of the cold, then that applies to Pluto, not Mars. On Mars you'd asphyxiate well before freezing. Even at its coldest, the red planet is nowhere near as truly deep space cold enough to flash freeze you in the way that Pluto or the outer gas giants could. Hell, in many places on the Mars surface during the day time, temperatures reach up to 20 degrees Celsius, almost earth-like, except for the suffocating 1% atmospheric density, which is, as I argued above, what would really kill you.
Venus, Mercury and the Sun seem legit though. Especially Venus with its atmospheric density being the same as a sudden trip 1km below the earth's oceans.
As another person here said about Earth, most likely drowning, so the visual even got that wrong.
