If scientists discovered a planet 1.1 billion miles away from the sun to which two planets would it be closest?

It really could be close to anything. IT would depend where 1.1 billion miles away it is. (i.e. Up? North? Upnorth?) and, the position of the planets in their orbits.

How long ago were the planets made?
Earth, along with the other seven planets in our solar system, formed around 4.6 billion years ago. Exoplanets, the planets orbiting other stars, would have formed at varying times in the past.
Do any of the stars you can see have planets around them?
Yes. To date scientists have discovered well over a thousand planets orbiting other stars. It is believe that a large portion of the stars in the night sky have planets.
What are the group of planets that are the farthest planets from the sun?
The planets that are farthest from the sun are called the Outer Planets. They are located outside the asteroid belt.They are (from closest to the sun):JupiterSaturnUranusNeptuneThey are all made up of gases.
How far is Saturn away from earth in AU and km?
Saturn is 1.2 billion km (about 7 AU) from the Earth when the two planets are at their closest.
The first four planets found closest to the sun are called?
The first four planets closest to the Sun are the four terrestial planets.
What planets close to the sun?
Mercury is the closest of the eight planets to the sun.

How far is a new planet?
Currently, there are eight planets in our solar system. The farthest one is Neptune. Neptune has an average distance of about 2.8 billion miles or 4.5 billion kilometers from the sun. Because its orbit is elliptical, its distance from the sun changes depending on where it is in its orbit. The closest Neptune gets to the sun is 2.771 billion miles or 4.459 billion kilometers. The farthest it gets from the sun is 2.795 billion miles or 4.495 billion kilometers. In 2006 scientists from all over the world decided the definition of a planet, and also decided on what a Dwarf Planet is. According to those definitions, there will most likely be no new Planets, but instead many newly discovered Dwarf Planets such as Pluto. Most Dwarf Planets are in the Kuiper Belt which is 30-50 Astronomical Units from the Sun.
There are planets in the universe?
Yes. There are 8 planets in our own solar system and more than 2,000 that have been discovered so far orbiting other stars. It is estimated that out galaxy alone contains 100 billion to 400 billion planets.
Is it true that when the sun dies all the other planets die too?
only the two closest planets will die when the sun dies in 4 billion years
Are there any planets out of our solar system that orbit around stars?
Yes. As of August 2015 scientists have discovered nearly 2,000 planets orbiting other stars.
When do scientists think the asteroids orginated?
At the same time that the Earth (and the other planets) formed : 4.5 billion years ago.
Is there any planet hotter than the sun?
Of the known planets that scientists have discovered, no, there is not a planet that is hotter than the sun.
Do any of the stars you can see have planets around them?
Yes. To date scientists have discovered well over a thousand planets orbiting other stars. It is believe that a large portion of the stars in the night sky have planets.
Did scientist find new planets?
Yes, scientists have discovered many new planets outside the solar system, known as exoplanets. Statistical models indicate there are hundreds of billions of such planets within the Milky Way.
How far is Saturn away from earth in AU and km?
Saturn is 1.2 billion km (about 7 AU) from the Earth when the two planets are at their closest.
