The distances of Eris and Pluto from the Sun in the next 1,000 years. The Eridian orbit is highly eccentric, and brings Eris to within 37.9 AU of the Sun, a typical perihelion for scattered objects. This is within the orbit of Pluto, but still safe from direct interaction with Neptune (~37 AU).
Eris takes 557 Earth years to make one trip around the Sun. The plane of Eris' orbit is well out of the plane of the solar system's planets and extends far beyond the Kuiper Belt, a zone of icy debris beyond the orbit of Neptune.

8 paź 2019 · It takes about 558 Earth years for Eris to make one trip around the Sun. As it orbits the Sun, it completes one rotation every 25.9 hours. Its maximum distance or aphelion, from the Sun, is about 97.65 AU while its closest or its perihelion is about 37.91 AU.
30 maj 2015 · Eris has an orbital period of 558 years. Its maximum possible distance from the Sun (aphelion) is 97.65 AU, and its closest (perihelion) is 37.91 AU.
11 wrz 2023 · Astronomical units (AU) are equal to the distance from Earth to the Sun so in order to understand the magnitude of Eris’s location, it is 68 AU from our solar system’s only star. This equates to an average distance of around 6,289,000,000 miles (10,125,000,000 kilometers).
At Eris’ furthest point from the Sun (Aphelion) it is so distant it is outside the Kuiper Belt, however at its closet point (Perihelion) it is closer the the than Pluto’s most distant point.
