Is Eris the largest Kuiper Belt object?
No. Eris is not a Kuiper Belt object, but is instead part of the scattered disk, beyond the Kuiper Belt. Eris is slightly smaller than Pluto, though by an insignificant amount but has a greater mass, meaning it is denser.
What two dwarf planets are apart of the kuiper belt?
Pluto and Eris
What two planets are part of the kuiper belt?
There are no planets in the Kuiper Belt. Anything in the Kuiper belt pretty much is not a planet by definition (KBOs do sometimes cross the orbit of Neptune, though).
What are the names of Eris's moons?
The Kuiper Belt dwarf planet Eris has one known moon, named Dysnomia.
What two dwarf planets are in the Kuiper Belt?
The two that have been identified and named are Eris and Sedna, although Pluto arguably belongs in the "Kuiper belt" category as well. However, there are certainly hundreds, more likely millions of similar objects that are still just a little too far away to be detected by our terrestrial telescopes. Edit: I think the correct answer is : Haumea and Makemake. Also I would definitely say Pluto is in the Kuiper Belt. So that's three Dwarf Planets in the Kuiper Belt. Eris is a "Scattered Disc Object", but some astronomers consider it as a Kuiper Belt Object too. Sedna, as far as I know, has not yet been classified as a Dwarf Planet.
