Errors in the calculations of Neptune's mass led scientists to believe that there was another planet affecting Uranus' orbit. Scientist proceeded to dub this planet Planet X.

Did Voyager 2 find Planet X?

As of now, Voyager 2 has not found Planet X. The existence of Planet X, also known as Planet Nine, is still a topic of ongoing research and debate among astronomers. It has not been directly observed or confirmed by any spacecraft like Voyager 2.


How did astronomers locate the black hole in the milky way?

They located it by searching for high-energy X-ray radiation in periodic bursts.


How long does it take for Planet X to make a complete orbit?

Since we never seen Planet X, we don't know for sure. Astronomers are estimating its orbital period to somewhere between 10,000 to 20,000 years.


What Does Planet X look like?

Planet X is a hypothetical planet that has not been observed or confirmed by astronomers. It is thought to be a large, distant planet in our solar system, but its appearance is unknown until it is officially discovered and studied.


What is the gravitational pull of Planet X?

For many years an unknown planet was thought to exist, that caused discrepancies in the orbits of Neptune and Uranus. This was dubbed Planet X. With improved measurements from the Voyager space probes, this Planet X was disproved, most astronomers believe now that it does not exist - that there are no more large undiscovered planets beyond Neptune that are in orbit around our sun. Several minor planets have been discovered further out though.


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.


What is Planet x?

Planet X is a hypothetical planet beyond Neptune that has been proposed to exist in the outer reaches of our solar system. It has not been directly observed, but its existence has been theorized to explain anomalies in the orbits of outer planets. Scientists are still searching for evidence of such a planet.


What color is Planet x's atmosphere?

Planet X was a hypothetical planet which was searched for after the discovery of planet Neptune. `Planet-X` does not exist.


Who discover the nibiru planet or planet X?

Planet X was a hypothetical planet which was searched for after the discovery of planet Neptune. Deviations in the orbit of Neptune led some astronomers to believe that there was another planet further out, but these original observations of Neptune turned out to have errors in them and a further sizable planet was never found.


Is 'Planet X' Neptune?

No, Planet X does not exist.


Is Planet-X a planet?

No
