The 'Ninth Planet' exists in the Solar System! Scientists find 'convincing' evidence of planet's existence
Finding the ninth planet within the system remains a troubling topic for scientists. In August 2006, Pluto was stripped of its planet status and declared a dwarf planet. At that point nobody thought that then it might take 15 years to search out the 9th planet. But now scientists have found preliminary evidence of the 9th planet.
The initial theory about Planet 9 relies on its perceived gravitational pull on nearby objects. But to this point no evidence of the existence of the 9th World has been found. At the identical time, now a recent estimate has been told that the so-called 9th planet in our system is closer and more observable than before.
Earlier, it had been estimated that 'Planet 9' makes one revolution round the Sun in 18,500 years. At the identical time, it's been told in new research that it makes one revolution in 7,400 years. This implies that this planet could also be closer to Earth and the Sun.
The new research has been done by Mike Brown and Konstantin Batygin of the California Institute of Technology. in a conversation with National Geographic, Brown claimed that there's still some years left for Planet 9 to be discovered.
Based on the gravity assessment, scientists have found that this planet will be sixfold bigger than Earth. But to date it's not been agreed that this planet is rocky like our Earth or it's a mix of heavy dense gases like Neptune.
If 'Planet 9' really exists and robust evidence of its existence is found, it'll change our understanding of the system. With this, the quantity of planets present within the system will become 9. The last planet to be added to our scheme was Neptune, which was discovered in 1846.
