One year on Ceres, which is the time it takes for Ceres to complete one orbit around the Sun, is equivalent to 1,682 Earth days.
Eris is several times larger than Ceres.
Yes, Ceres does rotate on its axis, completing one rotation approximately every 9 hours. This rotation causes Ceres to have a slight bulge at its equator and influences its surface features.
Not likely. Ceres has a number of bright spots in one of its craters, and scientists are unsure of what they are. One suggestion is that they could be from a volcanology- a sort of volcano that erupts cold material, but no other object as small as Ceres has volcanoes.
