Eris has an average distance from the Sun of about 6290 million miles.
The distance to Earth will obviously vary a bit as Earth orbits the Sun, but
it will not make much difference. However, the orbit has a high "eccentricity".
This means the distance from the Sun varies a lot, the orbit is a long
way from being circular. So that "average distance "is only a guide.
The mean radius would be about 476 kilometers (295 miles).
The dwarf planet Ceres (the largest object in the Asteroid Belt) has a polar radius of 455 kilometers (283 miles) and an equatorial radius of 487 kilometers (303 miles).
Eris varies in distance from the sun between 14.6 and 5.7 billion kilometers.
The circumference of Eris is 27% bigger than Pluto's!
The semimajor axis of the orbit of Eris is about 1.017 x 1010 km.
That's the average distance of Eris from the Sun.
About 2600 km.
the circumference of eris is 27122.2 km

Varying from the the distance from the Earth to the Moon + the distance from the sun to the earth + the distance from mercury to the sun, to the distance from the earth to the sun - the distance from mercury to the sun - the distance from the earth to the moon
Eris varies in distance from the sun between about 38 and 98 AU, which works out to 0.0006 and 0.0015 light years. In other words, much less than a light year.
No. Eris is a dwarf planet.
Eris is named after the goddess Eris, a personification of strife and discord.
96 AU's. An AU is the distance between the Earth and the Sun. So 96 distances from Earth to sun is Eris from Earth

Eris is 97 astronomical units away from the sun. ( an astronomical unit is the average distance between Earth and the Sun)
Eris is not bigger than earth
Eris is far less than a light year away. Eris varies in distance between 99 and 37 astronomical units away, which works out to 0.00059 and .00156 light years.
The distance of Eris from the Sun varies between approximately 38 and 98 astronomical units, i.e. between 38 and 98 times Earth's distance from the Sun.
Eris is not a planet; it is a dwarf planet. It is much smaller than Earth.
It is estimated a Eris day is 26 Earth hoursA year on Eris is estimated to be 557 Earth Years
It varies greatly.
Eris is at the edge of the solar system at the inward edge of the Oort Cloud. At aphelion (its furthest distance from the sun) it is 97.65 AU and at perihelion (its closest distance to the sun) it is 37.38 AU. (An AU is the distance from Earth to the Sun, roughly 90 million miles or 150 million kilometers.) This means that Eris' orbit is incredibly erratic. In fact, Eris perihelion is closer to the sun than Pluto aphelion (which 48.87 AU) but does not come close to Neptune (which has an aphelion of 30.44 AU).
