The solar system, currently consisting of the planets that orbit around our sun. We were taught that there are 9 planets in our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, neptune, and Pluto. Later on though, Pluto was discovered to be a dwarf planet and removed from our solar system. Above that there seems to be another planet orbiting our solar system known as Nibiru cataclysm or planet X.

A dwarf planet is a body like a small planet but doesn’t have the criteria to be one. According to NASA.gov Pluto was discovered in 1930 by an astronomer in the United States. Pluto was named by an 11 year old England girl.  Pluto Orbits the sun like an oval shape. Because of this, Pluto is sometimes closer or farther away from the sun. The group of astronomers decided that Pluto wasn’t a planet because of its size and its location.

Ali Saad, space extraordinar says that, “I believe that Pluto is definitely a planet.” He also touched on extraterrestrial life forms stating,“Even with the advanced technology, we still only discovered or even explored a tiny part of the ocean. For example, it’s like taking a cup of ocean water and using that information to claim that there are no whales in that ocean.”

Abdullah Hussein said,” I think Planet X might exist but I don’t know for sure. If it does exist then there might be extraterrestrial life there. This will change everything if there is.” There’s no evidence for the existence of Planet X, NASA telescope is trying to track it down. This hypothetical world still has no proof or evidence of existing. Scientists suspect that it is between 8-10 times the size of earth and it may take 10000-20000 earth years for planet X to orbit the earth.

Abbass Karnib, an 8th grader at Unis Middle school stated,” I believe this planet exists, but it will take a while for scientists to prove that. It’s possibly not possible that other life forms exist on that planet specifically. However, other life forms might exist on other planets.” The prediction of the existence of this planet was based off of a mathematical modeling. Scientist are currently searching for evidence for existence of this planet.
