Is it true that there was a planet between Mars and Jupiter?

Question

Is it true that there was a planet between Mars and Jupiter and that a huge comet was passing by and crashed with that planet and because of that crassh ta planet between mars and jupiter became the asteriod belt and the comet became pluto and supously thats why pluto has that particular eliptical traslation around the sun, how much of that is true?

Answer 1

Probably none of that is true. It's generally thought that gravitational interference from Jupiter prevented a planet from ever forming in the region of the asteroid belt. The total mass of the asteroid belt is not enough to form a decent-sized planet from, anyhow.

A comet crashing into a planet would probably not scatter the pieces so widely that they wouldn't re-form into a planet. Earth is thought to have been smashed into by a Mars-sized planet, but the pieces knocked off formed our moon. Considering that impact and its result, Pluto seems way to small to have smashed an entire planet into thousands of scattered rocks.

Pluto's peculiar orbit is due to the influence of Neptune. It, and hundreds of other objects orbit in resonance with Neptune's orbit.

Answer 2

Planet X has not been shown to exist, and it is probable that it would not. It became into theory that Planet X orbited outdoors of the orbit of Pluto, for that reason inflicting one greater gravitational pull on the image voltaic equipment. It became into additionally theory that there may be a black hollow interior the outer area of the image voltaic equipment. The black hollow concept did not become genuine (nonetheless there's a black hollow interior the middle of our galaxy), yet there have been many gadgets discovered interior the area of Pluto that are comparable to the dwarf planet. The similarity of those gadgets to Pluto is what brought about the exchange from Pluto the Planet, to Pluto the Dwarf Planet (if it have been nonetheless a planet, we'd might desire to function 1000's greater planets to our checklist). What does orbit between Mars and Jupiter is the Asteroid Belt. it is considered to be the line between the 4 inner planets and the 4 outer planets.

Answer 3

Very little of that seems to be true. The solar asteroid belt was formed during the formation of the solar system when Jupiter's intense gravity prevented minor planetoids in its vicinity from forming larger planets.

That said, there in fact are quite a few planetoids between Mars in Jupiter, the most well known of which is Ceres:

These planetoids are too small to be classified into planets.

In fact, the combined mass of the entire asteroid belt is less than that of the Earth's moon, therefore making it extremely unlikely there was a 5th planet there.

Answer 4

There´re a lot of theories about planets. But I think comets are not involved in the origins of planets. What it seems to be true is that some small planets have crashed into other planets.

Answer 5

Most of the evidance says there was a planet there. It supposedly crashed into Mars creating our moon and the astroid belt.

Answer 6

According to Flat Earth Society there was one. But got smushed between the two planets and became a toast...!!!
