The Dwarf Planet Pluto.
Is a planet bigger than the moon?
Maybe it would have been bigger than Pluto, but that is not a planet anymore so I pretty sure No.More InformationOur moon is much smaller than any planet in our solar system. Earth's moon has about 1/50th the volume of Earth. The smallest planet in our solar system, Mercury, has nearly three times the volume and roughly 4 1/2 times the mass of our moon.

What are Plutos moons called?
Pluto has one moon: Charon. The others are Nix and Hydra.
Is Pluto a soild or gas or a liquid?
It's probable just a big rock, like a large moon, however it's too far away to say for sure. A satellite was launched from the Earth and it will fly past Pluto many years from now. Then we should learn a lot more about Pluto.
What is Pluto other than a planet?
Because it orbits a planet (the Earth), the Moon is disqualified as being categorized as a planet; and is thus a moon (lower case). So it is known as "THE Moon" and it is "a moon" since it is a natural satellite.
Why is the moons rotation period longer then Earths?
The moon takes about the same amount of time to rotate on its axis as it does to orbit the Earth, which is why we always see the same side of the moon facing us. This synchronous rotation is caused by tidal forces between the Earth and the moon. Earth's rotation period is faster than the moon's due to its smaller size and composition.
Which element on the periodic table means Pluto?
The element Plutonium is the only element that is related to the word 'pluto'. But not sure if it means 'pluto'.
What planet do you think will be next to explore after the moon?
Mars for sure. It's a stepping stone towards the stars. Much as the Moon is. It is more than likely that the Moon will be used - in the future - as the launch pad for extended Mars exploration and possible colonisation. However, dwarf planet Pluto, Europa (moon of Jupiter), Titan and Enceladus (both moons of Saturn) will be high on the list. New Horizon is already on it's way to Pluto. Expected to arrive in 2015.
Why does the earth and moon always looks the same size?
The Earth and Moon do not always appear to be the same size in the sky. The Moon looks smaller because it is much smaller than Earth and is also much further away. However, during a total solar eclipse, the Moon can appear to be the same size or slightly larger than the Sun due to their relative distances and positioning.
What is the in the Pluto?
Pluto is a small, rocky dwarf planet with a surface temperature of -382Farehiet (-230 Celsius. Pluto is covered with ice and frozen gases. Scientist are not sure what is INSIDE Pluto.(last i checked...)
