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.
