charon has a gravitational pull that is equal to which earth has a gravitational field on charon. still the charon has a gravitational pull that can pull earth a centimeter distance away from the earth yearly but we all studied about law of conservation of center of mass you might have understood why i have taken this topic earth is not moving away from the sun...
No, Charon is not larger than Mercury. Its smaller than Pluto, and Pluto is smaller than Mercury.
Charon is smaller than the earths moon. It's radius is around 600km, while the Earths moons radius is around 1736km.
No. Charon is about half the diameter of Pluto.
No Pluto is almost as big as the 50 states with charon touching Pluto
Pluto has 3 moons, and all of them are smaller than Pluto. The largest moon, Charon, is about half the diameter of Pluto.
Larger; Charon is about half as big as Pluto.
Yes, Neptune is bigger than Pluto. Yes, Neptune is bigger than Pluto because Pluto is the smallest planet in the solar system and is smaller than Earth and Neptune is bigger than Earth.
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.
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.
Yes it is. However, its largest moon, Charon, is so large that one can almost think of Pluto and Charon as being a double minor planet system as Charon does not orbit Pluto as much as Pluto and Charon both orbiting a common point near Pluto, because of the effect of both Pluto's gravity on Charon as well as Charon's gravitational pull on Pluto.
No Pluto is almost as big as the 50 states with charon touching Pluto
Yes. In fact Europa is bigger than Pluto!
no. Pluto is bigger than charon,its moon. Just remember:moons are alwayssmaller than their planet.
No. If the object acompanying Pluto was larger than it, then Pluto would be the moon. Pluto's largest moon, Charon, has a little more than half of Pluto's diameter.
Pluto has 3 moons, and all of them are smaller than Pluto. The largest moon, Charon, is about half the diameter of Pluto.
It depends on which planet your referring too. If your referring to a smaller planet like Mercury that's easy, there is Titan and Callisto. If you are referring to a bigger planet such as Jupiter,which has the most moons orbiting around it in the Solar System, there are no known moons bigger than it.
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.
Larger; Charon is about half as big as Pluto.
No. They are separate objects. Some have suggested that the Pluto-Charon system be called a binary or double planet, as rather than Charon simply orbiting Pluto, the two orbit around their common center of mass.
Jupiter is many times larger than Charon.
