Yes. Ganymede and Titan, which are moons of Jupiter and Saturn, are larger than the planet Mercury. Several other moons in the solar system, including our own moon, are larger than Pluto, which was formerly considered a planet. These moons would likely be considered planets if they had their own orbits around the sun.

Is a planet with many moons an inner or outer planet?
In our own solar system, the only planets with many moons are outer planets. It seems likely that if there were a large planet close to a companion star, the star's gravity would strip away any orbiting moons. However, we have no way of detecting the moons of any extrasoloar planets.

How are moons and planets alike?
Most but not all larger MOONS (bodies that orbit planets, moons, or asteroids) accreted in the same way that PLANETS did, assuming a variable density and a nearly spherical shape. Very large moons such as Titan have many of the characteristics of planets: vulcanism, atmospheres, and weather. Generally speaking, moons orbit planets in the same way that planets orbit stars.
