@@mreggs3731 there are billions of objects in the oort cloud, the furthest of which could take up to ~100 BILLION YEARS to orbit the sun… since they're up to 3.2 light years away, or about 200,000 AU

Dude, the 5th Giant could've just set it's orbit in between Saturn and Uranus. Or even Uranus and Neptune. But since planets doesn't have any brain, all they think was just: "i want to be the first planet to the sun plzzzzzz"
One theory was that Mercury was once the core of an old gas giant that moved from the outer early solar system into where the planet is now. Because something was causing a lot of movement in and around the inner early planets. Since something hit Mars and of course the Moon hit earth (before it was the moon). Then there is Neptune's moon Triton which is meant to be a captured body. Just don't think a gas giant would have been thrown out of the solar system. But who the hell knows. The early solar system was full of chaotic objects.
In its current orbit, there is no way a hot Neptune, let alone hot Jupiter, could have lost all its volatiles at the Solar System's current age. Many hot giants are significantly closer to their stars than Mercury, and have been for billions of years, yet still haven't lost all their volatiles. It is much more plausible that Mercury was simply once a larger object that was struck by another infant planet at speed, causing it to lose it's crust and outer mantle, leaving it at its present mass.
I think Planet 9 may just be this planet that just so happens to still be a little close so we consider it kind of another planet of our system. It's probably the "5th gas giant" here that's still in the process of being ejected from our system.
i did this between saturn and jupiter and somehow it perfectly stabilized between jupiter and mars . mars wasn't very lucky though. everything else was somehow perfectly stable.
Probably light years away If it was travelling 0.01 (10^-2) light years a year, and if it was a million years, it’d be 10000 light years away. Using simple mafs.

I actually like the idea that Neptune and Uranus originally had eachother's orbits but then switched because of the gravitational chaos the 5th Giant was causing.
In the simulation, it was ejected from the system and won't come back. It no longer orbits the Sun in any capacity. In real life, this 5th Giant may potentially be Planet Nine, perhaps not and was just ejected. Finding it (or not being able to find it) will answer that question.
4:16 man.... Can we take and have a close up perspective view of the solar system when the planet is approaching closer to the solar system to see if it's affecting the outer planet's solar system?
If there was a fifth giant and it did orbit the sun, won’t it eventually come back? You can see in the model that the fifth giant is connected to the solar system, but through the years it have changed its location, but was still orbiting the sun in a very wide oval that is probably 100s of light years away. If you won’t mind, please answer my questions. Your best regards -Loyal Roof
When you have an open cone shaped trail on Universe Sandbox, like the one at the end of the simulation, that means it is no longer orbiting the body that it once was. The Sun's gravity also isn't strong enough to reach even 1 Lightyear, let alone 100s. Unless it is correlated to Planet Nine, then it was ejected from the Solar System, so no, it can't come back. And since this occurred over 4 billion years ago, we would have no idea where to look. Could be a Rogue planet on the other side of the galaxy somewhere, we also would have trouble trying to differentiate it from all of the other Rouge Planets in the Milky Way.
The mass of the 5th Giant used in the simulation was 10 Earth masses, so it is the least massive of the bunch, therefore it is expected to be the one to migrate the most. I'll put this in the description.
According to the Nice Model, Uranus was thought to have formed further out than Neptune did, which accounts for why Uranus is less massive, so I included this in the simulation.
The fifth gas giant was expelled by Jupiter out of the solar system, but remember that Jupiter has less gravitational attraction with respect to the Sun. Therefore, the fifth gas giant is possibly planet nine, since the Sun still has it attached to the said gas giant. Well, it is just a hypothesis.
These are what i believe might have happened to the 5th giant: 1: It was in between saturn and jupiter and saturn caught it as a moon and then jupiter had a close encounter with the 5th giant and saturn and ejected it and it either is no longer in the solar system or its orbiting at the very edge of the solar system 2: while settling into orbit it just went really far out into a very far orbit and is just chilling there alone in darkness 3: it was an exoplanet which just got caught by the suns weak gravitational pull somewhere in the kuiper belt or even oort cloud 4: it just got formed very far away from the sun and settled into orbit in there 5:it formed closer to the sun and drifted out there
The 5th giant maybe planet 9 but if the rumor off planet 9 being a Black hole is true its gonna BE highly unlikely (i meant impossible) but if planet 9 is not a Black Hole it might be the 5th giant just thinnk ABOUT it.
@@shebahammy What the simulation doesn't show is the effect of the millions of planetesimals had on the migration of the giant planets (You would literally need a supercomputer to run with that on Universe Sandbox on the same speed as the simulation). The 5th Giant unlikely formed right next to Saturn, so I accounted for the planetesimal driven migration by placing the planets closer together. The process of ejection was what lasted ~80,000 years.
U wonder if u were alive back and living on jupiter or saturn then and u can c Neptarus 95 (what i call it) pass by allot but today it orbits around The Sun every 15000 years Edit: This and i forgot to add the word "jupiter or saturn" after "living on"
It hit me that Thea , the marssized planet that hit premordial Earth migh have been one planets 5 actual moons -if so when we find planet 5 then there also might be a small moon thats the remnants of thea and earth or why not big astroids of both.
I tried this myself with a planet ten times more massive than the Earth and a density of Jupiter. Neptune left the Solar system in 2850000 years Uranus left the Solar system in 3550000 years 5th gas giant left the Solar system in 6400000 years In the end, Saturn's orbit was further than Uranus's original orbit, and Jupiter's barely changed. (At the beginning I deleted everything except the Sun and the gas giants, to get faster simulation speeds)
Judging by the trajectory of the path, it will be unrealistically surprising if, for example, in 10 years we see this planet again and again, it will disappear, where it will appear in... 40 million years ago or perhaps never. The planet may have such a strong or weak gravity that it pushes Jupiter and Saturn away from the outer ring (amazingly, these gas planets have such long distances and yet have powerful gravity)
it's kind of amazing the 9th planet never hit any other planet with how much it over lapped with other planet's orbits I do want to know how it's orbit got so missed up though, it just kept changing
Isn't 10 earth masses light for a gas giant? I understand the lightest gas planet is most likely to be ejected, but if it originated somewhere between Saturn and Neptune, it may have been heavier than Neptune (17 earth masses). By the way, is there a reason why the solar system is more stable with Neptune as outermost planet instead of Uranus?
It is thought that Saturn and Neptune accumulated most of the gaseous planet forming material in their respective zones, leaving much less for the 5th Giant to accrete from. It is a similar effect to what happened to Mars, with Jupiter's gravity preventing planetesimals from the Asteroid Belt accreting to Mars. 10 Earth masses is essentially on the boundary of being classed as a Giant Planet. According to the Nice Model, Neptune formed closer to the Sun than Uranus had, which explains why it is more massive out of the 2 and then migrated beyond the orbit of Uranus to it's present position at ~30 AU. It is possibly more stable because it is more massive than Uranus, so it would have less of a gravitational tug on Saturn, keeping them away from each other, but I am not certain of that.
@@PersonyPerson It would be cool to test what happens if you start with the planets in their current order to see if they stay that way, or that Uranus then becomes the outermost planet. I can imagine the planet closest to Saturn eventually gets pushed outward when the planets are still relatively close to one another. I don't expect the small difference in mass between Uranus and Neptune to really change the outcome, but who knows.
I know. :( Poor little guy. I feel sorry for it... it's now alone between the stars. It would be in pitch black, no star light on it, so it would be cold, dark and alone. It was part of our solar system and was actively interacting wtih all the planets... and now it's by itself :( makes me sad.
Jst a thought here, but if the orbit changes so much by a single pass then the orbit of the other planet would have to have changes slightly as well. Maybe it was visualized that way to make it simpler. Idk just throwing that out there.
plot twist: In 10 bilion years the 5th giant would join our solar system again 2nd plot twist:Our solar system is no more since the sun wil decide to take enlargement pills in a good (idk a few billion years, i think 4-6 billion)6 billion years and become as big as the earths trajectory around the current sun, and go out with a "big" bang.

The mass of the 5th Giant used in the simulation was 10 Earth masses, so it is the least massive of the bunch, therefore it is expected to be the one to migrate the most. I'll put this in the description.
I needed this video. I just didn't know about it
"We also don't talk about what happened to Mercury..." 0:25 my poor son...
The fact that the fifth giant orbit went pass Neptune Mordor’s orbit is kinda fascinating
Uranus is in front of Neptune
Also how did it go so far away?
I call the 5th ice gas giant "Neptarus 95, The Long Lost Ice Giant"
According to the Nice Model, Uranus was thought to have formed further out than Neptune did, which accounts for why Uranus is less massive, so I included this in the simulation.
@@PersonyPerson oh now i remember
@@PersonyPerson TY for the pointment
The fifth gas giant was expelled by Jupiter out of the solar system, but remember that Jupiter has less gravitational attraction with respect to the Sun.
Therefore, the fifth gas giant is possibly planet nine, since the Sun still has it attached to the said gas giant.
Well, it is just a hypothesis.
5th giant: causing the dwarf planets but losing size and mass causing planet 9 barely able to orbit the sun.
My bio for it
run the sim for longer and see if it gets a stable orbit
Would You guys Prefer to Have the 5th Giant or Is Saturn Better
Edit:Wow You're Very Underrated You need more Subs
I wanna have both
@@GWashingtonCarver it's less in mass as its 10.2 earth's and Uranus is 14.5 earth and neptune 17.1 earth
It's possible.... That this 5th planet ejected long time ago...
It's also possible that it may change orbit?
Planet nine soon near your home.
planet nine doesn't exist because someone found a small dwarf planet
and if planet nine exist that small dwarf planet will get ejected
@@excelvalentino6972 not true
it is 1.001 lightyears.
@@jannybeladi8504 it can't be farther away from the oort cloud.
@@WailingFriend the Oort Cloud extents as far as 3 light years
If it survived it would have been a massive event every time it came close to earth because the orbit is so long
How far away was the 5th giant's Aphelion in that final orbit?
~500 AU just before ejection.
@@PersonyPerson hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, interesting considering the ninth planet is considered to be around that distance iirc
@chironthefoof2920 So Fifth Giant Might actually *BE* The Ninth Planet😉
imagine if it ended up getting flung towards the sun instead and became a hot jupiter
I think 'yeet' might be a new term for 'gravitationally ejected'
These are what i believe might have happened to the 5th giant:
1: It was in between saturn and jupiter and saturn caught it as a moon and then jupiter had a close encounter with the 5th giant and saturn and ejected it and it either is no longer in the solar system or its orbiting at the very edge of the solar system
2: while settling into orbit it just went really far out into a very far orbit and is just chilling there alone in darkness
3: it was an exoplanet which just got caught by the suns weak gravitational pull somewhere in the kuiper belt or even oort cloud
4: it just got formed very far away from the sun and settled into orbit in there
5:it formed closer to the sun and drifted out there
Well if there is a Possible Planet Nine, Is planet Nine the 5th Giant?
Exactly what I was thinking, but how would it’s orbit stabilise if it was so eccentric
I think it was still there, I am not sure if it have a stable orbit or not but I think it is still in that orbit and undergoing ejection process.
The 5th giant maybe planet 9 but if the rumor off planet 9 being a Black hole is true its gonna BE highly unlikely (i meant impossible) but if planet 9 is not a Black Hole it might be the 5th giant just thinnk ABOUT it.
I love that Saturn and the 1st ice giant are just fighting for 7th place
361 seconds, 83030 years.
That’s a lot of years.
So then dow did it change that fast in only 80k years.
@@shebahammy because the other gas giants were more massive therefore messing with it's orbit, ending in either jupiter or saturn finishing it off
@@shebahammy What the simulation doesn't show is the effect of the millions of planetesimals had on the migration of the giant planets (You would literally need a supercomputer to run with that on Universe Sandbox on the same speed as the simulation). The 5th Giant unlikely formed right next to Saturn, so I accounted for the planetesimal driven migration by placing the planets closer together. The process of ejection was what lasted ~80,000 years.
U wonder if u were alive back and living on jupiter or saturn then and u can c Neptarus 95 (what i call it) pass by allot but today it orbits around The Sun every 15000 years
Edit: This and i forgot to add the word "jupiter or saturn" after "living on"
It is orbiting the sun way out beyond but it is not a rouge planet it's actually a planet
Planet X: Oh, I wouldn’t be so sure Jupiter 😈
"I've spent millions of years alone. Maybe I had a name and forgot. Maybe.... I simply never had one. But you can call me.... Planet X."
"You give yourself too much credit. Was it you who found me or were you simply pulled by my gravity?"

4:45 the orbit is wobbling, loose and weakly bounded
It hit me that Thea , the marssized planet that hit premordial Earth migh have been one planets 5 actual moons -if so when we find planet 5 then there also might be a small moon thats the remnants of thea and earth or why not big astroids of both.
No, Theia collided with Earth 400 million years before this simulation takes place.
It took about 115-120 thousand years to get ejected
I tried this myself with a planet ten times more massive than the Earth and a density of Jupiter.
Neptune left the Solar system in 2850000 years
Uranus left the Solar system in 3550000 years
5th gas giant left the Solar system in 6400000 years
In the end, Saturn's orbit was further than Uranus's original orbit, and Jupiter's barely changed.
(At the beginning I deleted everything except the Sun and the gas giants, to get faster simulation speeds)
what is the simulator name?
@@dattaravitejag Universe Sandbox²
Judging by the trajectory of the path, it will be unrealistically surprising if, for example, in 10 years we see this planet again and again, it will disappear, where it will appear in... 40 million years ago or perhaps never. The planet may have such a strong or weak gravity that it pushes Jupiter and Saturn away from the outer ring (amazingly, these gas planets have such long distances and yet have powerful gravity)
I wonder what would happen if there was a sixth gas giant also there?
Probably yeeted Dwarf planets when it was getting ejected.
Awesome broski
Plot twist: planet nine is just the 5th gas giant and in a few hundred years it will re enter the outer solar system and be visible
it's kind of amazing the 9th planet never hit any other planet with how much it over lapped with other planet's orbits
I do want to know how it's orbit got so missed up though, it just kept changing
5th giant :I am trying to stay alive
Jupiter:I am going to end the planet's whole career
Isn't 10 earth masses light for a gas giant? I understand the lightest gas planet is most likely to be ejected, but if it originated somewhere between Saturn and Neptune, it may have been heavier than Neptune (17 earth masses). By the way, is there a reason why the solar system is more stable with Neptune as outermost planet instead of Uranus?
It is thought that Saturn and Neptune accumulated most of the gaseous planet forming material in their respective zones, leaving much less for the 5th Giant to accrete from. It is a similar effect to what happened to Mars, with Jupiter's gravity preventing planetesimals from the Asteroid Belt accreting to Mars. 10 Earth masses is essentially on the boundary of being classed as a Giant Planet.
According to the Nice Model, Neptune formed closer to the Sun than Uranus had, which explains why it is more massive out of the 2 and then migrated beyond the orbit of Uranus to it's present position at ~30 AU. It is possibly more stable because it is more massive than Uranus, so it would have less of a gravitational tug on Saturn, keeping them away from each other, but I am not certain of that.
@@PersonyPerson It would be cool to test what happens if you start with the planets in their current order to see if they stay that way, or that Uranus then becomes the outermost planet. I can imagine the planet closest to Saturn eventually gets pushed outward when the planets are still relatively close to one another. I don't expect the small difference in mass between Uranus and Neptune to really change the outcome, but who knows.
*mandatory comment about thanking the cameraman for recording everything*
It’s hypothetical that we used to have 5 gas giants
"For billions of years, this has been the only view I've had, the home I once had, the home I lost because of Him"
- Planet X
so you telling me dispite all of this, the rocky planets are chillinh when mars has a tiny yeet from its orbit?
Mars is MUCH smaller than the gas giants. Any effect on Earth or Venus' orbit is comparably negligible.
I know. :( Poor little guy. I feel sorry for it... it's now alone between the stars. It would be in pitch black, no star light on it, so it would be cold, dark and alone. It was part of our solar system and was actively interacting wtih all the planets... and now it's by itself :( makes me sad.
This is why Planet X sought revenge.
Planet X and Fifth Giant are two different things
@@Somtejesstudios I’m referencing SolarBalls, smartass.
@@Somtejesstudios Thanks for pointing it out Captain Obvious. I’m referring to SolarBalls not irl.

Well, solarballs aren't even that realistic, and sometimes the lore makes no sense
@@Somtejesstudios actually it was directly mentioned that in solarballs planet x represents the 5th giant

Get it? Get it? Funny among us!!!!
So, maybe the 5th Giant still has an orbit, and maybe just hasn’t come back close to the sun yet…

So at the 4 min mark what would the AU’s be for the 5th giant???
Around 1000 AU
5th giant (planet X): “I always come back”
Jst a thought here, but if the orbit changes so much by a single pass then the orbit of the
other planet would have to have changes slightly as well. Maybe it was visualized that way to make it simpler.
Idk just throwing that out there.
plot twist: In 10 bilion years the 5th giant would join our solar system again
2nd plot twist:Our solar system is no more since the sun wil decide to take enlargement pills in a good (idk a few billion years, i think 4-6 billion)6 billion years and become as big as the earths trajectory around the current sun, and go out with a "big" bang.
Enlargement pills 😂
What is the mass of the 5th planet you simulate? Compare with that of Jupiter and Saturn.
The mass of the 5th Giant in the simulation is 10 Earth masses. Compared to Saturn at 95 and Jupiter at 318 Earth masses respectively.
@@PersonyPerson That would have made it the smallest of the 5 giants, correct?
@@ramblinman4197 Yes. Uranus is 14.5 Earth masses and Neptune is 17.
@@PersonyPerson he is alive!
The only thing I'm confused is Planet X/5th Gas Giant still Orbiting The Center Of The SolarSystem []Sun[]
the whole video in years is 83030 so the planet just gone away in that year.
tell me if its wrong! i just used calculator
I think the reason is the 5th giant lost its doesnt have a stable orbit?
If you tilt your screen upside down later on it looks like the fire on the round part on the stove
5th Giant interrupts saturn now he interrupts jupiter 💀
imagine interrupting jupiter💀💀
I like to imagine the fifth giant is still out there, and we recently may have discovered it as the hypothetical Planet 9.
