Expert Solution

The object of the largest known dwarf planet Eris is located in the scattered disk Kuiper Belt, so it is classified as an SDO ( Scattered disk objects ) and a Plutoid. It belongs to a class of bodies that have been drawn into a more distant orbit than usual due to gravitational interactions with Neptune in the early stages of solar system formation. It has a natural satellite that has been given the name of Dysnomia.

After its discovery, for just over a year this subject was considered the tenth planet of the Solar System by its discoverers and the media, but the August 24, 2006, the International Astronomical Union (IAU ) determined that Eris and Pluton were dwarf planets of the Solar System, but not planetas. According determined the UAI in its June 2008 meeting, Eris, plus dwarf planet, is a plutoid, new category created in this sesión. they are members of the class, along with Eris, Pluton, Makemake and Haumea.

The Eris diameter is 0.2 the earth diameter
