By Anthony and Gian

Eris is the largest Dwarf Planet. Eris is slightly larger than Pluto. Eris is so far away and faint, even the Hubble Space Telescope cannot see it clearly. Eris is one of the distant large objects discovered so far in the solar system. It is a very long way from the sun, about three times farther than Pluto. It is so far away that it is very faint and was only discovered in Scientists think that Eris is hard and rocky. Eris is near the Kuiper Belt.

Eris facts Eris has mass of 16 billion kg.

Other facts: Eris has one moon called Dysnomia. Also Eris takes Earth years to orbit the sun {which is our sun}.
