Not presently. Occultation observations in 2011 showed no appreciable atmosphere.
The exterior temperature is well below the freezing points of all major gases, so they would be frozen solid. The only way it would be possible is by molecular sublimation, as is thought to give Pluto a very thin transient atmosphere when it approaches perihelion.

What are the gasses on Makemake?
makemake is made of ethane, methane and nitrogen. that is also its atmosphere. when its closest to the sun makemake has an atmosphere but when its farther away the gases freeze and fall to the suface like snow and there is no more atmosphere
Is there atmosphere in Makemake?
The presence of methane and possibly nitrogen suggests that Makemake could have a transient atmosphere similar to that of Pluto.
What color is Makemake?
Makemake appears red in the visible spectrum, but not as much as Eris. This is caused by the presence of methane (CH4) in the atmosphere.
Who was Makemake named after?
a scientist must have made it
What is makemake's lowest temperature?
The temperature on Makemake is about -240ºC (-400º F)!

Why is makemake's atmosphere made mostly of gas?
Because it has to precipitate so it can support the planet, just like Earth. There's no question about it.

Is there another galaxy in Makemake?
No, Makemake is a dwarf planet, a very small part of our solar system. Galaxies are made of many thousands of solar systems.
What is makemake's lowest temperature?
