Is there another planet behind the sun?

Answer 1

This has long been a popular folk legend that has influenced Science Fiction(The Planetoid Vesta) an essential earth like world sans violence and crime, in other words the abode of the Guy Upstairs and his Chosen. The legend fueled a science fiction film (I was the one who launched the question about the name of the craft) The concept in a religious or philosophical veink not science fiction, formed the basis of a popular song, oddly one of the Morbid-Romance type-called In the English Version- My One and Only You- the song had the lines, referring to Heavenly aftelife- When we leave tis world, to live BEHIND THE SUN... then it makes a mention of a crown of lfowers in her hair- an Italian mortuary custom that figures (not necessarily necro) in the popular songs San Francisco(better be in shock-proof helmet mount) and the song Tge Girl the Park, etc(Flower Girl) where a guy encoutners a ghost girl in a park.It is all more of a superstitious religious thing, than a sci-fi one, sucha planet would escape visual and radar detection but at night when the sun is out of range... It is an idea. Bright stuff, don't forget your UV glasses.

Answer 2

There could be, but there isn't. Studies since the early days of astronomy convinced serious scientists that the solar system did not support identical orbital parameters. Later, space probes to Venus and Mars looked back toward Earth and confirmed there was no "mirror version" in a duplicate path around the Sun..

One theory of the formation of the Moon was that a slightly smaller planet (Theia) crashed into Earth after assuming such a concurrent orbit.

Answer 3

yes but the planets behind the sun

are way bigger than the sun

Answer 4

No, there is no planet behind the Sun. The Sun's gravitational pull and orbit of the planets in the solar system make it highly unlikely for a planet to exist behind the Sun from our perspective.

Answer 5

No. Only in science fiction.
