Eris, a dwarf planet located in the Kuiper Belt, has a surface pressure estimated to be around 0.1 to 0.2 bars. This is significantly lower than Earth's atmospheric pressure, which is approximately 1 bar. The thin atmosphere of Eris is primarily composed of nitrogen, with traces of methane and other gases. The low pressure is a result of its distance from the Sun and its small size, which limits its ability to retain a substantial atmosphere.

Venus's average barometric pressure?

The average pressure on the surface of Venus is about 90 to 100 times greater than the pressure on Earth, according to most of the websites I visited doing research. That's about 90 bars.


How many more times is the atmospheric pressure in Jupiter's core greater than the atmospheric pressure at the earth's surface?

Earth's atmospheric pressure is measured as 1 bar. Jupiter's atmospheric pressure is 100 million bars. Therefore, it is 100 million times greater


Why is Eris not the tenth planet in our solar system?

Eris is a "dwarf planet", and does not have enough gravity to make the surface round, or to clear other objects near to it.


What is the temperature range for Eris compare to earth?

Eris has an average surface temperature of around -235 degrees Celsius, which is significantly colder than Earth's average surface temperature of around 15 degrees Celsius. Eris is much farther from the Sun than Earth, contributing to its extreme cold temperatures.
