How far away is Planet X?

Answer 1

Exoplanets are located in other solar systems. They are planets that have been detected orbiting other stars, by causing the star (or their sun) to 'wobble' as the bodies exert their gravitational pull on each other.

Answer 2

The existence of Planet X has not been confirmed. While some theories suggest it could be located in the outer regions of the solar system, its exact distance remains unknown. Further research and observation are needed to determine its existence and location.

Answer 3

Planet x is between the Earth and the Sun. It has an elliptical orbit that will bring it close enough to earth to be seen in broad daylight. It takes approximately 3600 years for planet x to complete this orbit and at each pass near Earth, the gravitation forces cause what is called a pole shift on Earth. Zetatalk.com

Answer 4

In people's imaginations. There is no scientific evidence for the existence of any planets in the Solar System other than the 8 we know of: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

There was at one time a belief in a hypothetical as-yet-undiscovered planet based on the fact that the observed orbit of Neptune did not agree precisely with theoretical predictions. It turns out there were errors in the observations; observations made with higher precision agree perfectly with theory.

The search for this (non-existent) "Planet X" led Clyde Tombaugh to discover the dwarf planet Pluto: it was, by chance, near where calculations based on the erroneous observations led people to think "Planet X" would be. Because of this coincidence, and because "Planet X" would have had to have a significant mass, people initially believed Pluto to be much larger than it actually is, which is one reason it was originally considered a planet rather than a dwarf planet. With better observations, and particularly with the eventual discovery that there are many bodies like Pluto in roughly similar orbits (including at least one that's definitely larger), it became ridiculous to continue to call it a planet while denying the same status to, say, Ceres.

In modern terms, "Planet X" is sometimes alleged to be a large body capable of causing disasters on Earth. In short, this is complete and utter hogwash. A large meteor impact could indeed cause disasters, but a) it wouldn't be a "planet" and b) there's no evidence for any body even vaguely similar to the one described in the rumors, nor could such a body even possibly exist.

Answer 5

Planet x is located as Pluto but Pluto has gotten demoted.
