How far is planet x from the sun?
Planet X is a hypothetical planet once thought to exist out beyond Neptune. Astronomers discovered a discrepancy in Uranus' orbit that they thought indicated another planet beyond Neptune whose mass was affecting it. When Neptune's mass was determined using data gathered by Voyager 2, Astronomers discovered that the discrepancy was entirely due to Neptune's orbit. Since then, other trans-Neptunian objects have been discovered, but none large enough to be considered a planet.
