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.

Is Pluto a moon or a planet?
no it's a dwarf planet I would think that it is a dwarf planet, but its moon, Sharon, is nearly as big as it, so some MAY argue that Sharon is a dwarf planet and Pluto is the moon, but considering Pluto is slightly bigger than Sharon, I would think that Sharon would orbit Pluto rather than Pluto orbiting Sharon.
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).
Which 2 planet is the farthest away from sun?
Neptune and Uranus. It would be Pluto and Neptune but pluto is no longer a planet it is a dwarf planet
How long would it take for light to travel in nine years?
One light year is around 10 trillion km or 6 trillion miles. Nine lightyears would be 90 trillion km or 54 trillion miles. You would generally just say nine lightyears though.
Can a dwarf planet be a gas giant?
Under the current definition of a planet, yes it can! If a gas giant were to share its orbit with other objects of significant mass (other than moons, comets or asteroids), it would definitely qualify as a dwarf planet. In order to be a planet, it would have to "clear the neighborhood" until it was the dominate influence in its orbit.
What would happen if a dwarf star crashed into a planet?
If a dwarf star crashed into a planet,the planet would likely explode.
How big can a black dwarf planet get?
A black dwarf is not a planet; it is the remnant of a long dead star that has cooled. A black dwarf would range from about 7,000 to 17,000 miles in diameter.
Is Saturn giant or small?
It is giant. If it was small, it would be a dwarf planet instead of a planet.
What planet takes the most to orbit the sun?
Neptune. It would be Pluto, but Pluto is a dwarf planet ( a planet that was a planet, but decided that it wasn't a planet)
What would classify Pluto as a planet?
It isn't a planet. It doesn't exist in the solar system anymore. As a dwarf planet, but not as a proper planet.
What is the fervest away planet?
the farthest planet away from our sun would be Pluto, but since Pluto is counted as a dwarf planet, Neptune would be the furvest planet away

Which planet would orbit around the sun the slowest?
Neptune. (Pluto is no longer considered a planet, but, rather, a dwarf planet.)
How big does a planet have to be to be considered a dwarf planet?
In order to be classified as a dwarf planet, an object has to be large enough to have achieved hydrostatic equilibrium - that is, forced by gravity into a roughly spherical shape, unlike the odd shapes of asteroids. The lower limit to the size or mass of a dwarf planet is thus much more a matter of observation than formal definition. The size would thus depend upon its mass, the lower limit of which would be dictated by properties of matter. To be considered a proper dwarf planet it would also need to be in solar orbit and not, for example, a moon of another planet; it would further not have cleared the neighborhood around its orbit, as, for example, Pluto has not.
What is the common noun for Pluto?
The common noun would be "dwarf planet."

Is a black dwarf star smaller than a planet?
A black dwarf would be about the same size as a terrestrial planet such as Earth, so it would be larger than some planets but smaller than others.
