Eris has a frozen atmosphere.
Eris has a frozen atmosphere.
Eris has a very thin atmosphere
Eris has a frozen atmosphere.
Current scientific thinking suggests that Eris does not have a gaseous atmosphere. Eris is so cold that its atmosphere is frozen!
Eris' atmosphere is primarily composed of nitrogen, with trace amounts of methane and possibly other hydrocarbons. It is a thin and cold atmosphere, keeping the dwarf planet's surface largely frozen and inhospitable.
Eris has a very thin atmosphere that is primarily composed of nitrogen and methane gases. Its atmosphere is estimated to be only about 0.12 to 0.2 microbars in pressure, which is significantly less dense than Earth's atmosphere.
The atmosphere on Eris is composed mainly of nitrogen and methane. The extremely cold temperatures and distance from the sun result in a very thin and tenuous atmosphere.
Eris has a thin atmosphere composed mainly of nitrogen and methane gas. These gases are thought to be released from the surface ice of the dwarf planet due to sunlight reacting with the frozen molecules.
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.
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.
It is not definitively known if Eris has an atmosphere or clouds as its distant location makes it challenging to observe. However, based on its similar composition to Pluto and other dwarf planets, it is possible that Eris may have a thin atmosphere that could potentially support cloud formation.
