Which planet is believed to be a double planet system?
When Pluto was still officially considered a "planet" in our solar system, it and it's moon Charon were considered by many to be a double planet system. Whenever a moon constitutes a considerable percentage of the host planet's mass, it may be considered a double planet system. For this reason, some consider the Earth and our moon to be a double planet system. Our system has by far the greatest planet to moon mass ratio; about 6:1. As for planets outside our solar system, I cannot say. Though there are many out there.
What planet is closer to the moon?
Earth is the closest planet the moon, as it is our planet's moon and orbits Earth.
What planet has a large satellite compared to its size?
Its Earth, with its one moon which is called `The Moon`. Although our moon is not the largest in the solar system, it still comparatively large compared to its planet. The other large moons in the solar system are around much larger outer planets. If we consider dwarf planet Pluto, there is an even bigger moon in comparison (Charon).
What planet has a moon that is so close to its planets size that many consider it a binary planet?
That could be Pluto with its mate, Charon.(Of course Pluto is only a "dwarf planet" now.)Alternate:Some people have argued that this holds true for Earth and Earth's Moon, although the idea has not caught on. Earth's Moon has by far the largest mass in proportion to its companion planet when compared with any other moon in the solar system.
Is the moon an outer planet or inner planet?
The moon is a satellite not a planet.
Is there a moon that doesn't orbit a planet?
A moon must orbit a planet, or it isn't a moon, it's a planet.
Is a moon larger than a planet?
No. The moon orbits the planet which means the planet is larger than the moon.
Why is a moon not a planet?
A planet orbits a star such as the sun. A moon orbits a planet.
