Pluto has five satellites(moon) which are Charon, Styx, Nix, Kerberos and Hydra out of which Charon is the Biggest. However, It is approximately half of pluto. If the Charon was bigger than pluto, We would probably be seeing pluto rotating around Charon. This is because,Charon would have more gravitional force than that of pluto as Its size would be bigger. Simply put, Bigger things dont revolve around smaller things. So, Pluto's moons are not bigger than Pluto.
