Debunk: Planet 9 is tilting our solar system

This story is actually true - but it is not as scary as it might seem from titles such as Planet Nine could be making the solar system WOBBLE: Sun's strange tilt may be caused by mysterious world's orbit By a wobble there they actually refer to a very very slow gradual tilt over billions of years. But as journalists do, they chose a more graphic vivid word than “gradual tilt” to help attract your attention to the article. Then people sharing this story online and talking about it make it seem like it is something new and scary that is going on. It is not scary at all.

Artist’s impression of Planet 9 together with our sun, so far away it looks like a bright star. “Planet 9″ has not been proven to exist yet. If it does exist, it may help explain why the eight major planets of our solar system are in orbits inclined by an average of six degrees to the equator of the sun.

The eight major planets in our solar system are in orbits inclined at an average of six degrees to the equator of the sun. This is a long standing mystery in astronomy.

There are several possible explanations including

Something to do with the effect of the Sun’s magnetic field on electrically charged particles in the collapsing dust / gas cloud in the early solar system.
Imbalance in the mass of the sun’s core in the early solar system
Now we have a new possible explanation, that this Planet 9, if it exists, slowly shifted the solar system out of alignment with the sun over billions of years.

Astronomers are interested in this because if they find planet 9 they can check to see if it is heavy enough and in the right orbit to tilt the solar system by the amount observed. The other explanations are very hard to test and verify.

If it's planet 9, it happened over billions of years. Nothing noticeable is happening right now, and it is to explain a long standing puzzle in astronomy that we've known about for ages, it's not a new observation.

You can find loads of BS written about Planet 9 and Nibiru online in conspiracy blog sites, and sometimes published in the sensationalist press. Here are some of my debunks.
