Best Answer

The planet Sedna is not actually a planet, just a small lump of ice and rock. In fact Pluto, the ninth planet in our solar system, has just been downgraded and is no longer considered a planet. Because of Sedna's frigid temperatures, the team who discovered the object named it Sedna, after the Inuit goddess of the sea from whom all sea creatures were created
