Is there an Earth on the other side of the Sun?
Is there an Earth on the other side of the Sun?
Unfortunately, the forces of gravity conspire to make this hidden planet idea completely impossible. Most importantly, when someone tells you there’s a hidden planet on the other side of the Sun, just remember these words: No.
When the Earth is on one side of the Sun?
The Earth is a sphere, or ball, which spins round and round as it travels around the sun. One side of the Earth faces the sun, while the other side faces away into space. The side facing the sun is bathed in light and heat—we call this daytime. The side facing away is cooler and darker, and experiences night.
What happens when Earth has moved to the other side of the Sun?

When we are on the side of Earth that is facing the Sun, we have daylight. As Earth continues its spin, we are moved to the side facing away from our Sun, and we have nighttime.
Can we see the other side of the Sun?
Thanks to NASA, this is the first time that we are seeing the other side of the Sun. NASA’s STEREO-A or Solar Terrestrial RElations Observatory-Ahead has captured an image of the other side of the Sun on July 15 2015, with Extreme UV Imager.

Is there something behind the Sun?
The Sun would have been surrounded by a disk of gas and dust early in its history when the solar system was first forming, about 4.6 billion years ago. Some of that dust is still around today, in several dust rings that circle the Sun. They trace the orbits of planets, whose gravity tugs dust into place around the Sun.
Is there another Earth out there?
The Kepler space telescope identified the exoplanet, and its discovery was announced by NASA on 23 July 2015….Kepler-452b.

What is beyond the sun?
But its exact nature just outside our solar system has been largely a mystery, principally because the Sun, all eight planets and a distant disc of debris known as the Kuiper Belt, are all contained within a giant protective bubble formed by the solar wind, known as the .
