The dwarf planet Eris is in a highly elliptical orbit (elliptical = oval-shaped) with an perihelion (closest point to the Sun) of 38 AU, and an aphelion (farthest point from the Sun) of 97 AU.
Currently, Eris is near its farthest point from the Sun, about 96.7 AU (9 billion miles or 14 billion kilometers) from the Sun.
And... Eris is about 3x further away from the sun than Pluto.

∙ 15y agoCurrently Eris is near the farthest point in its orbit from the Sun, and is more than twice as far from the Sun as Pluto. However, the orbits of Eris and Pluto cross, so at some point many years in the future, Pluto will be farther away.

Most of the time 136199 Eris if further away from the Sun than 134340 Pluto.
What is the color of Eris?
It is said that it looks similar to Pluto, though being as far away from the Sun as it is, it's atmosphere freezes over and gleams brightly reflecting the sunlight changing its image temporally.
How far away is Eris from earth in Au?
Eris is nearly 97 astronomical units (over 14.5 billion kilometers or 9 billion miles) away from Earth, 3 times as far as Pluto.
