The dwarf planet Eris is in a highly elliptical orbit (elliptical = oval-shaped) with an perihelion (closest point to the Sun) of 38 AU, and an aphelion (farthest point from the Sun) of 97 AU.

Currently, Eris is near its farthest point from the Sun, about 96.7 AU (9 billion miles or 14 billion kilometers) from the Sun.

And... Eris is about 3x further away from the sun than Pluto.
