Nitrogen makes up 78% of the atmosphere. Oxygen is 20%, while argon is about 1%. Trace gases and particulates make up the following.
Um... actually... thats wrong. According to recent NASA studies, Pluto is the only dwarf planet with an atmosphere.

∙ 6y agoEris did have an atmosphere BEFORE, (100 years ago), a nitrogen-rich ice atmosphere mixed with frozen methane but because of the distance from the sun it is now frozen solid to the planet

Does Eris have a thick or a thin atmosphere?
Eris has a very thin atmosphere
What is Eris atmosphere made of?
Eris may have a very thin atmosphere of methane.
Does Eris have seasons?
Eris barely has an atmosphere, so it almost certainly does not have storms.
What is the difference between deliquesent and efflorescent compounds?
efflorescent substances are substances which looses moisture partly or completely to the atmosphere and changes in to amorphous powder. deliquecent substances are substances which absorb moisture from the atmosphere and turn into a saturated solution.
Is there life on Eris the dwarf planet?
Eris is way too cold for life to exist. Life needs energy, and there is very little energy on such a small object so far from the sun. In fact, the same gases that make up earth's atmosphere are frozen solid on Eris.
What is the composition of the atmosphere of planet Eris?
Eris has a frozen atmosphere.
What is the atmosphere of Eris the dwarf planet?
Eris has a frozen atmosphere.
What is the dwarf planet Eris's composition of atmosphere?
Eris has a frozen atmosphere.
Does Eris have a thick or a thin atmosphere?
Eris has a very thin atmosphere
What kind of gas does Eris have?
Current scientific thinking suggests that Eris does not have a gaseous atmosphere. Eris is so cold that its atmosphere is frozen!

What is the atmosphere on Eris?
we don't know because we want to find out
What is Eris atmoshere?
The dwarf planet Eris probably has no atmosphere to speak of. Eris orbits beyond Neptune, in the bitter cold distances from the Sun; most gasses would condense and freeze, and the tenuous vapors that might remain would be too light to be bound by Eris' weak gravity.
