How long does Eris the dwarf planet take to orbit the sun?

Eris orbital period is around 557 years.


How long in lightyears would it take to travel to Eris the dwarf planet?

A light year is a unit of space, not time. It is the distance light travels in a year. Eris is far less than a light year away.


What Zodiac Sign Is The Planet Eris Related To?

The dwarf planet Eris has no association with any given zodiac sign. It carries themes of discord, petty jealousy and strife, but has not been studied long enough for precise interpretation. Because it takes more than 500 years to travel through a given zodiac sign it applies more to ages of humanity than given individuals.


Is Pluto in the solar system?

Yes and no. It was decided on August 24, 2006 that Pluto be classified a dwarf planet. Because dwarf planets are a subclassification of planet, it would be accurate to call Pluto a planet, in a general setting (bearing in mind, though, that there are 10+ other dwarf planets in our solar system, some larger than Pluto).


Is Pluto the only dwarf planet that orbits the Sun?

As far as we can actually PROVE, it is the only dwarf planet that orbits our own Sun. However, there has long been some speculation that there may be another dwarf planet out beyond Pluto, that is even smaller, but which is too far away from the Sun to be seen with optical instruments. It has also been debated that some large meteorites that orbit the Sun between the orbits of the planets, should maybe be declared as being dwarf planets in their own right.

No, there are no new planets in our solar system. They have all been here for a long time! Our solar system has eight planets, since Pluto was downgraded to a dwarf planet. There are some new dwarf planets: Eris, Ceres, and the newest MakeMake. There are about a dozen more candidates for dwarf planet status. Pluto, Eris, and MakeMake are also considered plutiods, which means they are beyond Neptune's orbit. See Related Links below for more information.
