Eris is the second largest dwarf planet in the solar system, only slightly smaller than Pluto. Smaller than it are Makemake, Haumea, and Ceres along with many other objects too numerous to name here.
Eris is not a planet; it is a dwarf planet. It is much smaller than Earth.
Eris is not a planet; it is a dwarf planet. It is much smaller than Earth.
No, Earth is larger than Eris. Earth has a diameter of about 12,742 kilometers, while Eris has a diameter of about 2,326 kilometers.
Eris orbits farther out than Pluto, is slightly smaller, and is about 25% denser.
Yes, but only slightly. Eris has a greater mass than Pluto because it is denser.
No. With a radius of about 1,160 kilometers, Eris is significantly smaller than Mercury, the smallest planet with a radius of about 2440 kilometers.
No, Eris is smaller than the moon. Eris is a dwarf planet located in the outer solar system, while the moon is Earth's natural satellite and is much larger in comparison.
Eris is a spherical object that is 2326 kilometers across on average, which makes it slightly smaller than Pluto.
Eris has a gravitational field strength of about 0.8 m/s² which is lower than Earth's, due to its smaller mass and size.
Mercury is smaller in diameter, but not in mass. If you include dwarf planets, than it is also larger in diameter than Eris and Pluto, however once again it is smaller in mass.
Eris is the most distant planet from the sun. Eris is roughly 96.4 AU from the sun and three times smaller than Pluto.
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.
