Is there a planet after pluto?

Question

What do you think that there is a planet or something else after pluto? Explain why?

Answer 1

Yes. It is called the ninth planet the last time. But now that pluto is considered a dwarf planet, I think it should be the eighth planet now.

Answer 2

There are likely several large objects past the orbit of Pluto - at least 2 named ones and several still being observed and analysed. They (and likely many others larger than Pluto) are in the Kuiper Belt, which is estimated to have over 70,000 objects larger than a km across).

If you mean an actual full-sized planet like the Earth or one of the gas giants, its certaily possible though not likely. A planet of that mass would affect the Kuiper Belt objects and cause their orbits to be more erratic than currently observed, and would cause a larger number of short-period comets (which are believed to originate in the Kuiper Belt) than are observed or have been observed over the past 400 years.

And to Darth - there is actually only a small amount of iron in the sun (as a percentage). And the iron (and other heavy elements) are there because the sun is a 3rd generation star, forming from the heavy elements distributed into the interstellar dust from at least 2 generations of past supernovas.

Oh, CPUcate - you're referring to the Titius-Bode Law, which science and math have ruled out as invalid, or at best pure coincidence, and Neptune's discovery in 1846 broke the "law" - it doesn't fit.
And the "n" in the law is not a simple 1,2,3 series - its 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 96, 192, and 384.
The formula is a = (n+4) / 10, where a is the distance in AU.

Answer 3

Yes, there is. It is named Biyo by the International Astronomical Union. It is named after its discoverer, Josette Talamera-Biyo. She is a Filipino astronomer.

The planet is as large as Pluto. IAU does not consider Pluto a planet now. Any object beyond the orbit of Pluto is called Pluton.

Answer 4

You are late the question is how many planets are there after pluto

Yes It is the tenth planet was discovered in 2002 and it in called Quaoar.The elventh planet is called Sedna and it was discovered in 2004.They are both smaller then pluto and ice planet.They are not offically real planet of the solar system but the are still planet

Answer 5

Yes, As predicted
I have read a book regarding this. I cannot remember
it says
the distance of the planet from the sun is directly proportional to the nth planet
dist = k n + c . . . . note similar to slope intercept form of a line
. . . if n = 1 then it was mercury
. . . if n = 2 then it was venus
. . . if n = 3 then it was Earth
. . . if n = 4 then it was Mars
. . . if n = 5 then it was Unknown planet - asteroid belt - exploded planet
. . . if n = 6 then it was Jupiter
. . . if n = 7 then it was Uranus
. . . if n = 8 then it was Neptune
. . . if n = 9 then it was Pluto
. . . if n = 10 then it was the unknown planet x

you can verify the distances and then unknown planet x

Answer 6

I think CPUcate has the Titius-Bode relation a little wrong. The "nk" part is supposed to double at each step after the first as follows:

"nk" = 0, 0.3, 0.6, 1.2, 2.4, 4.8, 9.6, 19.2, 38.4, 76.8

The constant part is 0.4.

Thus, one gets the following:

0.4, 0.7, 1.0, 1.6, 2.8, 5.2, 10.0, 19.6, 38.8, 77.2

This works pretty much out to Uranus with the larger asteroids in the belt taking the spot at 2.8 AU. Mars is a bit out with a semi-major axis of 1.52 AU instead of 1.6.

It doesn't work for Neptune for which the semi-major axis is 30 AU compared to a predicted 38.8 and Pluto is way off at 39.4 compared to 77.2

There are many other objects out there. Perhaps best known are the dwarf planet (136199) Eris (once known as 2003 UB313), which is a little larger than Pluto and has a semi-major axis of 67.7 AU, and (90377) Sedna (formerly 2003 VB12), a smaller body with a semi-major axis of over 500 AU and a highly elongated orbit.

Answer 7

There's definitely more after Pluto. Eris, Sedna, Quaoar, Orcus, and Veruna are trans-Neptunian object that float in the Kuiper belt. Well, Sedna is supposedly a dwarf planet that is a part of the Oort cloud, as it is too far off to be in the Kuiper belt.

Answer 8

I don't believe so, I believe there is a black hole quite a farther distance away (so that the gravitational pull seems like a planet). This black hole is residue from a star that exploded and created much of the needed material for our solar system. (For example why in the world is there so much iron in the sun? It has not undergone deep enough fusion to produce so much. The only way for it to have gotten that way was if there was somewhere else it had gotten it, a supernova would produce suffecient fusion to create iron element.

Answer 9

Yes, Pluto size objects, but neither they or Pluto are considered planets. They are planetoids. They may also be very large comets.

Answer 10

Pluto is not a planet!
