It was first proposed in 2016 to explain the unusual arrangement of orbits of some distant objects in the solar system.
These objects, known as Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs), have a very elliptical orbit that takes them far from the Sun. Some KBOs even have orbits that extend beyond Neptune’s orbit.
Scientists argue that the arrangement of the orbits of these objects can only be explained by the gravitational influence of a large, distant planet. This planet would need to be at least ten times as massive as Earth and have an orbit of about 200 to 300 astronomical units (AE) around the Sun.
The existence of the 9th planet is supported by a series of observations, but the planet itself has not yet been directly observed. If it exists, it would be the largest planet in the solar system after Jupiter and Saturn.
The 9th planet could be a member of a larger group of planets that once existed in the outer solar system. These planets might have been flung out of their orbits due to the gravitation of Jupiter and Saturn.
The search for the 9th planet is an exciting challenge for astronomers. If it is found, it will mark a milestone in astronomy. It would expand the solar system by one new planet and enhance our understanding of the formation and evolution of the solar system. #universe #space #trendingreels #trendingsongs #ninthplanet #milkyway #spaceart #stargazing #astrology #science #ufo #deepspace #sun #nightsky #astronaut #solarsystem
