Planet May Have Caused the Sun to Tilt


According to a new study published in the Astrophysical Journal, the undiscovered planet at the edge of the solar system called ‘Planet Nine,’ might be
the cause for the Sun’s perceived unusual tilt. The planet was predicted in January & might be adding a wobble to the entire solar system making the sun appear to be slightly tilted. Every planet orbits the Sun in a flat plane with respect to the Sun, within a few degrees of each other. However, the plane itself rotates at a 6° tilt making it appear that the Sun is moving at an angle – a phenomenon that has remained unexplained so far. It is assumed that the planet is about  times the size of the Earth & 20 times away from the Sun on average than Neptune’s & has a 30° orbital plane around the sun
