No.
It is a satellite (moon) of Pluto, which itself was declared a "Dwarf Planet" at the International Astronomical Union (IAU) Symposium in 2006.
Pluto is very small - only 2/3rds the size of Earth's moon. Charon is 1/2 that size - which is large enough that the IAU would have faced calling Pluto-Charon a "Double Planet" if they had decided to call Pluto one.
However, IAU's decision was based upon the fact that there are MANY objects in similar orbits to Pluto's (some even larger than Pluto itself, such as Eris), and we would have ended up listing dozens (possibly hundreds) of objects as "Planets"
No. Charon is not a planet; it is a moon of the dwarf planet Pluto.
Charon is officially recognized as a moon of the dwarf planet Pluto. However, since the common center of mass around which both objects orbit is outside of Pluto some people regard the Pluto-Charon system as a binary dwarf planet.
No, it is a satellite of the dwarf planet Pluto.
Charon is Pluto's moon (or satellite).
The dwarf planet Pluto.
The dwarf planet Pluto.
The planet PLUTO has a satellite named 'CHARON' . Pronounced 'Karon'.
Pluto is a dwarf planet with a moon called Charon as well as four others named Styx, Kerberos, Hydra, and Nix.
Charon is the largest moon of Pluto, a dwarf planet that was once considered a planet. Charon is so massive compared to Pluto that rather than Charon orbiting Pluto, the two objects orbit a common center of mass. This leads some to called Pluto-Charon a binary planetary system.
The is no planet Charon. Charon is a moon of the dwarf planet Pluto. Charon was discovered by James Christy in 1978.
No. Charon is not a planet; it is the largest moon of the dwarf planet Pluto. The smallest planet is Mercury.
Because Charon is not a god it does not have a symbol
It was discovered in 1978. But it's not a dwarf planet. It's a moon of the dwarf planet Pluto.
The dwarf planet Pluto.
The dwarf planet Pluto.
No. The planet Pluto is a solid dwarf planet. The moon Charon is a solid moon.
Charon is the largest satellite of the dwarf planet Pluto.It has no rings.
The planet PLUTO has a satellite named 'CHARON' . Pronounced 'Karon'.
Charon is a moon that orbits the dwarf planet Pluto.
The dwarf planet Pluto and its binary partner Charon have two moons, Nix and Hydra.
Because the barycenter of the Pluto-Charon lies between the two bodies, it is a binary system, and one could extrapolate the definition of a dwarf Planet to include Charon. However, the IAU has not yet defined a binary dwarf planet. So the answer is yes and no. If you were to adhere to the current IAU opinion, Charon is a moon. If you would like to adhere to the physics of the system, then yes, they are binary.
