Why did astronomers begin searching for a planet X?
Astronomers began searching for Planet X to explain discrepancies in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune. Observations indicated the presence of an unknown massive celestial body affecting the orbits of these planets.
Which planet is believed by astronomers might be the core of what used to be a much larger planet?
Astronomers believe that Mercury might be the core of what used to be a much larger planet due to its large metallic core relative to its size and lack of a substantial mantle. This hypothesis suggests that a collision with another large body stripped away much of its outer layers, leaving behind the dense core that we observe today.
Astronomers predicted the existence and orbit of Neptune based on?
Astronomers predicted the existence and orbit of Neptune based on discrepancies in the orbit of Uranus. These discrepancies suggested the gravitational influence of another planet beyond Uranus, leading to the discovery of Neptune in 1846.
What planet do astronomers believe that there is a good chance of liquid water?
Mars scientists found water on. Mars
In the 1800s why did astronomers predict that the planet neptune would be discovered well before anyone had seen it?
Astronomers saw some deviations from the expect orbit of the planet Uranus. Based on these deviations, some theorized that Uranus was being pulled out of its expect orbit by another planet, which turned out be Neptune.
What planet do astronomers believe there is life?
Earth
What planet were scientist studying when they found neptune?
Astronomers were actually studying another planet, Uranus.
Why did astronomers begin searching for a planet X?
Astronomers began searching for Planet X to explain discrepancies in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune. Observations indicated the presence of an unknown massive celestial body affecting the orbits of these planets.
Is the lost planet found?
There is no such thing as a lost planet. Astronomers haven't seen another planet from somewhere else yet.
Besides Earth astronomers believe they are most likely to find evidence of life on what planet?
Mars

Is there another planet beyond Pluto?
No, but there is a dwarf planet including pluto.
Explain about planet X?
After Neptune was discovered, they were claims that its orbit didn't seem to be as predicted. This led to the conclusion that it must be disturbed by another massive planet beyond it. Later Pluto was discovered, but it's mass was not large enough to disturb Neptune. For many years astronomers searched for another planet, but it was recently discovered that Neptune's orbit is not as perturbed as once thought, so the "need" for another planet is gone.
Why is pluto the ninth planet?
It is no longer classified as a planet as astronomers now believe its a asteroid that got pulled into an orbit with our sun. Some also believe it to be a misplaced moon of Neptune.
Why do scientist believe there used to be another planet in between Mars and Jupiter?
This was because the orbits of those planets suggested there was something pulling in the direction of the belt. When astronomers looked there, they did not find a planet, but instead a collection of asteroids. It was these that were pulling on the planets.
Is there another planet beyond Uranus?
Yes. Neptune orbits beyond Uranus.
Astronomers predicted the existence and orbit of Neptune based on?
Astronomers predicted the existence and orbit of Neptune based on discrepancies in the orbit of Uranus. These discrepancies suggested the gravitational influence of another planet beyond Uranus, leading to the discovery of Neptune in 1846.
