Eris is at the edge of the solar system at the inward edge of the Oort Cloud.

At aphelion (its furthest distance from the sun) it is 97.65 AU and at perihelion (its closest distance to the sun) it is 37.38 AU. (An AU is the distance from Earth to the Sun, roughly 90 million miles or 150 million kilometers.) This means that Eris' orbit is incredibly erratic. In fact, Eris perihelion is closer to the sun than Pluto aphelion (which 48.87 AU) but does not come close to Neptune (which has an aphelion of 30.44 AU).

What is the axial tilt for all dwarf planet?

Dwarf planets have varying axial tilts. For example, Pluto has an axial tilt of about 122 degrees, while Eris has a tilt of approximately 44 degrees. Haumea's axial tilt is about 28 degrees, and Makemake has a tilt of around 28 degrees as well. Each of these tilts contributes to the unique seasonal and climate conditions on these distant celestial bodies.

Does Eris have seasons?

Eris does not have seasons like Earth because its axial tilt is almost 90 degrees, causing it to have extremely long, erratic seasons due to its highly elliptical orbit. As a result, Eris experiences extreme temperature variations as it orbits the Sun.
