Did We Once Have Another Planet In Our Solar System?

Some think SO..

There are some theories that Jupiter may have kicked out another planet.  Wait what?  That sounds kind of preposterous.  However there are some astronomers who make a compelling case.  Here is a bit on what they have to say on the matter:

Researchers from Canada have used computer models to show that our Solar System could have had an extra gas giant planet in the mix around 4 billion years ago – until Jupiter booted it out, that is.

The idea that there were originally five gas giants – in addition to Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune – was first proposed back in 2011, to help explain why the Solar System currently looks the way it does. As it turns out, the orbit of Mars and Earth don’t really make sense if there were only ever the planets we have today.

It sounds bizarre, however there is an article making its way around the internet about a possible “super Earth”.  What do you think about this?

Let’s find out a bit more on how they came to this conclusion on page 2

    A sumerian tablet that is 6000 years old says yes and they know the size correlation of the planets and what order they were in and that Uranus was green in color and that Neptune and Uranus were twin planets so if they knew all that and said another planet is there then yea

    Pluto is not a planet. It was one of Saturn’s moons and it doesnt fit the model. Jupiter Saturn uranus and neptune are all gas giants and then u have a lil solid mass object
