How big is it in both diameter and mass compare to earth?

Pluto is very small compared to earth as earth is compared to the sun.


How does diameter of Pluto compare with that of our moon?

The moon is about 2,160 miles across. Pluto is about 1,475 miles across, so Pluto is about 68% the diameter of our moon.


Does earth have more volume than Pluto?

Yes, it does. Earth has a diameter of 12,756km, whereas Pluto has a diameter of 2,390km. Assuming that they are perfect spheres, the Earth has a volume of about 8,694,250,468,781 km^3, and Pluto has a volume of 57,185,025,428 km^3. As such, the Earth has a volume that is more than 152 times greater than that of Pluto.


The ratio of the diameter of the Moon to the diameter of the Earth is 0.25 Is the ratio for the Charon-Pluto system larger or smaller than this?

Larger; Charon is about half as big as Pluto.


How big is the planet Pluto to the planet Earth?

Pluto is tiny. Earth is 12,756 km in diameter, Pluto is only about 2,390 km. That is only about 70% the size of the Moon (which is itself 1/4 the size of Earth.) In terms of Mass, Pluto only has about 1/460 of Earth's. Surface gravity of Pluto is only about 5% of Earth's.

How large is Pluto compared to other planets?

The volume of Pluto is 7.5 x 109 km3 or 0.0066 Earths... it would take 151.5 Pluto's to make up the volume of the Earth. Also, the diameter of the earth is 12,756 km and pluto's diameter is 2,296 km, meaning that it would take 5.55 plutos to equal the diameter of the earth.
