Pluto is no longer officially a planet, but even if it still was there have been no other planet-sized bodies discovered behind it. There are more than 200 planets so far discovered that lie beyond Pluto. They are in distant solar systems hundreds of light years from our own.

Actually, one of the reasons that Pluto was "demoted" to a dwarf planet is the fact that there are indeed celestial bodies that could have been considered planets behind Pluto.

If the vote had gone a different way, we would have more officially recognized planets in the solar system. Instead we get stuck with eight. Sort of anticlimactic.

May God bless you.

If you mean in our Solar System, none that we know of. We know there is a bigger body than Pluto by the name of Eris but still not a proper planet, it's only a dwarf planet just like Pluto.

There are other planets outside our Solar System, though. We call these planets exoplanets as they are spinning around other planetary systems in our galaxy.

The jury is still out on Pluto - they voted to not have it be a planet anymore, but it still remains listed as a planet. Afer all, it's kinda hard to get 6 billion people to start saying that Pluto isn't a planet.

To that end, there is a 10th planet in our solar system, named Eris. It is a large dwarf planet, but still a planet.

Here's a short article about it:

No, but Sedna would be if Pluto still held that title! Sedna is many billions of miles farther out then the Pluto Charon system in the Oort cloud region of the Solar System! It must be a very cold place, near absolute zero of -459o Farenheit
