Did Planet Nine Tilt The Solar System?

CommonsArtist's rendering of Planet Nine alongside Earth.Planet Nine
may be responsible for tilting the entire plane of the solar system,
according to a new study from the California Institute of Technology.
"Planet Nine may have tilted the other planets over the lifetime
of the solar system," said Caltech's Elizabeth Bailey, lead author on
the study. "Because Planet Nine is so massive and has an orbit tilted
compared to the other planets, the solar system has no choice but to
slowly twist out of alignment." Planet Nine is indeed massive, with a
reported size ten times that of Earth, but has not yet been
photographed or detected with any conventional means of discovery
because of its orbit's bizarre, off-kilter 30-degree tilt from the
Sun's equator (compared to six degrees for the other eight
planets).Alternative theories have also attempted to explain the
solar's system tilt. One notion is that there's an imbalance in the
Sun's core, while another suggests that electrically-charged particles
interacted with dust and gas when the planets were first forming. But
as Bailey points out, that's unlikely to be provable:
"However, all these other ways to explain why the solar system is
tilted are really hard to test — they all invoke processes that were
possibly present really early in the solar system. Planet Nine is the
first thing that has been proposed to tilt the solar system that
doesn't depend on early conditions, so if we find Planet Nine, we will
be able to see if it's the only thing responsible for the tilt, or if
anything else may have played a role."
Indeed, nobody had been able to figure out why the eight major planets
orbit around the Sun at a six-degree tilt to the Sun's equator. If
Bailey is correct, Planet Nine finally explains it."It's such a
deep-rooted mystery and so difficult to explain that people just don't
talk about it," said Caltech's Mike Brown, one of the two researchers
who discovered Planet Nine in January."It continues to amaze us,"
added Konstantin Batygin, the other discoverer of the new planet.
"Every time we look carefully we continue to find that Planet Nine
explains something about the solar system that had long been a
mystery."
