What makes a planet influential? In Neptune's case, it is its ability to be the cause of our solar system's doom. According to a study, if a neighboring star flew too close to our solar system and moved Neptune's orbit by just 0.1%, it can wreck the entire solar system. The research was done by Garett Brown and Hanno Rein of University of Toronto.
