What tilted the sun by 6 degrees, is it the planet x?

Planet Nine could be responsible for the tilt - but it didn't tilt the Sun itself. Planet Nine, if it exists, has been on a strongly inclined orbit around the Sun for over 4 billion years, and had has a tiny but non-zero effect on the orbits of the planets around the Sun. read more

Planet Nine—the undiscovered planet at the edge of the solar system that was predicted by the work of Caltech's Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown in January 2016—appears to be responsible for the unusual tilt of the sun, according to a new study. read more

KB: The Sun's rotation was measured for the first time in 1850 and something that was recognized right away as that its spin axis, its north pole, is tilted with respect to the rest of the planets by 6 degrees. read more

All of the planets orbit in a flat plane with respect to the sun, roughly within a couple degrees of each other. That plane, however, rotates at a six-degree tilt with respect to the sun—giving the appearance that the sun itself is cocked off at an angle. Until now, no one had found a compelling explanation to produce such an effect. read more
