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.
Pluto was about 4.67 billion miles away from the Sun, Eris was about 5.67 billion miles away, and Ceres was about 257 million miles away at the beginning of the year 2010.
I think you mean "Eris". Is average distance from the Sun is about 6290 million miles.
it 3957miles long
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.
Eris, the dwarf planet, is roughly 96 astronomical units (AU) away from the sun on average. This is equivalent to approximately 9 billion miles or 15 billion kilometers. In terms of light years, Eris is about 0.001 parsecs away from the sun, or approximately 0.00003 light years.
it takes 96.7AU (9 billion miles or 14 billion km)
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).
Eris orbits our sun. It is well within our solar system--it is not an exoplanet.
It takes Eris 557 years to orbit the sun
It is the farthest from the sun
Eris, which is the largest dwarf planet within our solar system, is about 96.6 AU (or 1.445x1010km) from the sun. Compared to Pluto, Eris is about 3x more distant.
