Makemake [e] (minor-planet designation: 136472 Makemake) is a dwarf planet and the largest of what is known as the classical population of Kuiper belt objects, [b] with a diameter approximately that of Saturn's moon Iapetus, or 60% that of Pluto.

2025年1月22日 · Makemake Facts. Dwarf planet Makemake – along with Pluto, Haumea, and Eris – is located in the Kuiper Belt, a donut-shaped region of icy bodies beyond the orbit of Neptune. Makemake is slightly smaller than Pluto, and is the second-brightest object in the Kuiper Belt as seen from Earth while Pluto is the brightest.

Makemake, dwarf planet orbiting the Sun beyond the orbit of Pluto. Originally called 2005 FY9, Makemake is named after the creator god of the Polynesian inhabitants of Easter Island ; the name alludes to its discovery by astronomers at Palomar Observatory on March 31, 2005, a few days after Easter .

Makemake is a dwarf planet whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified Makemake as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth. Makemake orbits the sun every 111,000 days (303.90 years), coming as close as 37.78 AU and reaching as far as 52.80 AU from the sun.

2005年3月31日 · Makemake, official designated as 136472 Makemake, is the 4th dwarf planet from the sun, and perhaps the largest Kuiper belt object (KBO) in the classical population, with a diameter that is around 2/3 the size of Pluto. Its extremely low average temperature, about 30 K (−243.2 °C), means its surface is covered with methane, ethane, and ...
