Pluto's equatorial diameter is 2,274 km. The diameter of Earth's moon is 3,476 km. Jupiter has four moons larger than Pluto:-
Jupiter's moon, Ganymede and Saturn's moon Titanare both larger than the planet Mercury and Pluto(if you count it).
Ganymede and Titan are larger than Mercury. Additionally Callisto, Io, the moon, Europa and Triton are larger than Pluto.
Wikipedia has a list of moons, in the article "List of natural satellites" - you can sort that list by radius, and count the ones that are larger than Pluto's radius.

Planets have moons because matter is attracted by gravitational force to objects with a greater mass than them.That is why moons orbit planets and are never larger than their host planet.
No. Stars are much larger than planets or moons. Stars are suns, some larger and brighter than our own.
yes. ganymede, one of jupiter's moons, is larger than the planet mercury
They are larger and so they have more gravity.
No moon is larger than the planet it orbits. The two largest moons in the solar system, Ganymede and Titan, which orbit Jupiter and Saturn respectively, are larger than the planet Mercury, but no others.

No. Larger planets have more moons.

yes they have
Two are: Jupiter's moon Ganymede and Saturn's moon Titan are larger than Mercury.
No. Only some moons are bigger than Mercury, being the smallest planet.
Ganymede and Titan, which are moons of Jupiter and Saturn respectively, are larger than the planet Mercury. These are the only moons larger than any planets in our solar system. It is also worth noting that Jupiter's moons Callisto, Io, and Europa; Earth's moon; and Neptune's moon Triton are larger than Pluto, but Pluto is no longer considered a planet.
They are larger and so they have more gravity.
Generally speaking moons are smaller than planets. The only exceptions are the two largest moons in this solar system, Ganymede and Titan, which are larger than Mercury, the smallest planet in the solar system.
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.
yes. ganymede, one of jupiter's moons, is larger than the planet mercury
