No, Charon is not the biggest moon in the solar system. The actual biggest moon in the solar system is Ganymede, which is 5,268 km at the equator
It's the largest moon of Pluto. It is nowhere NEAR being the largest moon in the Solar system; Pluto itself is smaller than Earth's moon. Charon is, however, the largest satellite relative to its primary of any body I know of in the Solar system.
No. Pluto's largest moon, Charon, is not the largest moon in the solar system. It is, however, the largest moon in proportion to its parent body.
Well, Planet Pluto has three moons, Charon (pronounced kai-ron), Nix and Hydra. But most of us agree it's Charon, it's biggest moon. Half Pluto's size.
No. Pluto's main moon, Charon at about half of Pluto's diameter, is the largest moon in proportion to the object it orbits. Several moons in the solar system, including our own, are actually larger than Pluto. The solar system's largest moon is Ganymede, which orbits Jupiter.
Ganymede is the largest moon in our solar system.
There are probably infinitely many moons in the universe that are bigger. However, our moon is unique in our solar system. It is (not counting Pluto's moon Charon) the largest moon in proportion to the size of its major planet host. Otherwise it will be the Jupiter's biggest moon Ganymedes,the biggeset moon in term of mass and density in our solar system!
There are no double planet systems in our solar system. The closest to being considered a double planet are Pluto and its largest moon Charon, but since Charon is significantly smaller than Pluto, it is not classified as a double planet system.
Ganymede is the largest moon/satellite in our solar system, in orbit around the planet Jupiter.Ganymede, a moon if Jupiter, is the largest satellite in the solar system.
Jupiter. Its largest moon is called Ganymede, this is also the largest moon in our solar system.
Ganymede, a moon of Jupiter, is the largest in this solar system.
Plutos largest moon, Charon, is relatively large by comparison with Pluto at 1,206 km diameter. Pluto's equatorial diameter is 2,274 km.Read more: Which_planet_has_a_moon_that_is_more_than_half_its_size
What is unusual is that Charon is the largest satellite relative to its planet in the solar system. And that Charon is more than half the size of Pluto. Actually the Charon/Pluto system might be better termed a binary system as the two rotate about a common center of gravity (their "barycenter" which does not lie inside either body but in space between them.
