No spacecrafts have currently landed or orbited Makemake. The dwarf planet is too far from the Sun (7,800,000,000 kilometers), it would be in the next century when we can send spacecrafts there.
As of now, no probe has been specifically sent to explore Makemake. However, the dwarf planet has been observed and studied by telescopes, including the Hubble Space Telescope, providing valuable information about its characteristics and surface features.
Makemake is not visible to the naked eye, or even to very large telescopes. It is barely detectable only through a detailed computer analysis using the most powerful telescopes in the world, or in space.
Makemake is an icy dwarf planet located in the Kuiper Belt, with a surface covered in frozen methane, ethane, and possibly nitrogen. It appears to be reddish in color as a result of tholins — organic compounds formed by the interaction of sunlight with methane and nitrogen. Makemake lacks a substantial atmosphere, and its surface likely undergoes slow erosion due to solar wind and impacts from space debris.
No. It is considered as a dwarf planet If you order a small Pepsi, you still get Pepsi, right? Pluto is a planet. It is a special class of planet; it is a dwarf planet. What it is not is a major planet.
Pluto was not disqualified in space. It was reclassed into a more specific category: dwarf planet.

Makemake is at a distance of 52 astronomical units (7,800,000,000 kilometers) from the Sun, in the Kuiper Belt.

Pluto. That is now a dwarf planet. :)

Dwarf means very small so dwarf planet means a very small planet. These type of planets formed and can easily disappear.they are formed due to any explosion in space or a cluster of stones breaking ,they disappear by explosions and also when their orbits get dismantled

Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006. Pluto was regarded as a planet from its discovery in 1930 until 2006. As Pluto only meets two of the three requirements for the planet classification, it is not considered a planet anymore.
If you waited until Makemake was at the closest point in its orbit, it would still be about 5,609,925,000 kilometers away. At 90 kilometers per hour, that would be 62,332,500 hours, or 7111 years.
Five such bodies were reclassified as "dwarf planets" in 2006. The most famous, or infamous, has been the demotion of Pluto.
Ceres.... Is located in the asteroid belt and is considered a dwarf planet because of its size! Eris.... Is located in the kuiper belt and is also so tiny that it can not be classed as a planet Pluto.... Is located in the kuiper belt but does not orbit or is orbitted by Eris . Pluto was classed as a dwarf planet in 2006 when they realised it was so small to be classed as a planet! By the way I am 11 years old and hope to become can astomener when I am older I am about to leave primary school but I read much more than picture books! Do you think I could have a carrer in space research and astromany?
