Planet of the Solar System is lost in the universe

Astronomers have agreed that our Solar System originally formed from four giant planets, including Saturn, Mars, Uranus and Neptune. However, a recent scientific study suggested that the solar system once had five giant planets.

The computer model developed by Dr. David Nesvorny of Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio (USA) shows that the solar system does not seem to start with four giant planets as we previously thought.

By analyzing from a computer-based model, Dr. Nesvorny found that there was only 2.5% of the chance of forming the Solar System as of now from the original four giant acts, while, the chance of development The solar system is now 10 times more advanced if there is a fifth giant planet.

'Most likely The solar system has more than 4 planets at the time of formation and some planets have been pushed out of the Solar System. Evidence is that scientists have recently discovered a large number of planets flying freely in the universe , 'explains Dr. David Nesvorny.

The solar system began to form 4.5 billion years ago when a cloud of massive dust and gas merged together to form the Sun. The planets formed about 10 million years later and their orbits were initially unstable.

Scientists estimate the sun has spent half its life. The sun will stop working when hydrogen fuel is depleted and start burning helium gas, causing the Earth to perish. However, this only happens after about 5 billion years.
