Could there be another planet behind the Sun?

Do you think it's there?

From that link I'd say the answer is a pretty emphatic "NO."

As the Earth orbits the Sun, it’s subtly influenced by those other planets, speeding up or slowing down in its orbit.

So, while we’re being pulled a little forwards in our orbit by Jupiter, that other planet would be on the opposite side of the Sun. And so, we’d speed up a little and catch sight of it around the Sun. Over the years, these various motions would escalate, and that other planet would be seen more and more in the sky as we catch up to it in orbit.

But we wouldn't catch up to it. It would influenced by the same effects as our planet....maintaining an orbit the same as us, keeping it hidden.

It's there, only the dinosaurs weren't wiped out. The dominant life form nack then was a lizard like creature. And being older than humans there're more advanced too.The same ones that existed here and were 3 times more intelligent than our ancestors. Being a reptile it couldn't manage the deep freeze.

There is NO other side of the Sun. All Planets rotate around it. The Sun doesn't move.

no don't think its possible

it would have to be a certain distance from the sun in order not to decinergrate from the heat

in which case we would see it at some point in our orbit

It's in the same exact orbit as Earth.

The Earth is 149,600,000 km away from the Sun; so lets assume there is another planet the same distance away but on the other side of the Sun and it moves when the Earth moves so we never see it.

Impossible. What's the old adage, Never assume anything ! 

[ufo_investigations]

But what if the planet is on the same orbit as us and it turns exactly when the Earth does this would mean we never see it.  If it is perfectly aligned with us we wont see it.

IMO Far too many " What If's " to be plausible. Why couldn't there be more than 1 then. There might be dozens. yeah right !!!
