Pluto's moon Nix is thought to smaller than the other small moon Hydra, but the two are very close in size. There is a large margin of error possible, with the two moons ranging from 50 to 150 km in diameter.
The average distance between Pluto and its moon Nix is about 19,600 kilometers. Nix orbits around Pluto at a distance of roughly 30,000 kilometers.
Nix is the bigger moon of the two, with a diameter of about 23 miles (60 kilometers), compared to Hydra's diameter of about 20 miles (50 kilometers). Both moons are relatively small compared to other moons in our solar system.
Nix is one of Pluto's moons and has a tenuous atmosphere composed mainly of nitrogen and methane. This thin atmosphere is believed to be largely derived from surface ice sublimating into space. Nix's atmosphere is not dense and cannot support life as we know it.

The moon is the smallest out of the Sun,Earth and moon. It should be note, though, that neither the sun nor the moon are planets; the sun is a star and the moon is a natural satellite.
