Is it possible for the Sun to pull planet X into our solar system by gravity?
yea our solar system…the milky way. I was learning about space and i was watching a video about the Sun. It said the sun’s gravity eventually goes out of our solar system. planet X is out of the milky way so is it possible for gravity to attract it and pull it into the milky way.

Probably not, since Planet X would be primarily attracted to it’s own star.

No, it isn’t.
Nonexistent planets are one of the few things unaffected by gravity.
Well, sure, if there’s a spare planet just floating around space, not moving too fast. But masses that big are pretty rare, matter tends to clump together in space.
But it could happen.
yes, very very very slowly over a very long long long time.
galaxies pulls galaxies also
No such object has ever been observed…
The sun is getting bigger as its core shrinks and as it grows, its gravitational pull increases so in theory it could happen.
You really need to learn a little more science. Planet X does not exist anywhere in the sky. No where on the internet will you find the sky coordinates for this FANTASY planet.
If it did exist somewhere outside of the Milky Way Galaxy (where the entire solar system is located) it would be MANY light years away. The galaxy is about 100,000 light years wide.
The sun’s gravity cannot affect objects OUTSIDE of the galaxy.

1) The Milky Way is our galaxy, not our solar system. The solar system has one star – the Sun. The galaxy has about 200 billion stars.
2) Yes, the Sun’s gravity (and the Earth’s gravity, and your gravity, and the gravity of everything else) extends theoretically forever, but decreases as one over the distance squared.
3) There is nothing called Planet X, in or out of our solar system or galaxy. It simply doesn’t exist.
there is no evidence to support yuor belief in the existence of Planet X… please repost your question in the Sci-Fi forum
If you are talking about the Planet X associated with the Big 2012 Hoax, then the answer is no. The Sun cannot attract what does not exist.
The sun’s gravitational influence can work up to the distance where it becomes smaller than the gravitational “noise” of all the other stars in the Galaxy. That is about 2 light-years or so.
However, if you had a rogue object floating around out there, its own speed would have to be slower (relative to the Sun) than the escape speed way out there (which is quite slow).
Still, it happens. There are some meteor that have been plotted (and even some tracked by radar) that were coming into our atmosphere much faster than the solar escape velocity at our position, showing that these were captured rocks from outside the solar system.
But Planet X was invented for the 2003 end-of-the-world. The charlatans were selling survival kits and books on how to survive. When it failed to appear (not surprising, since it is fake), they created the Big 2012 Hoax in order to sell more kits, books and videos.
They will do it again for September 20, 2020.

“pull it into the milky way.”
The Milky Way is the band of light that is caused by the stars of the neighboring arms of the Galaxy. That is thousands of light-years away. Therefore the answer to that part would be no for anything, as the influence of the Sun is only about 2 light-years.
