It depends, both moons and dwarf planets vary in size, and size is not the basis of classification. The largest moons in the solar system, including our own moon, are larger than the five recognized dwarf planets, but many moons are smaller.
the moon is bigger
Pluto has 3 moons, and all of them are smaller than Pluto. The largest moon, Charon, is about half the diameter of Pluto.
No Triton is smaller than Mercury but it is bigger than Pluto
Ganymede. Even though it is weird that a moon is bigger than planet Mercury, here`s the order from biggest to smallest: Ganymede Mercury Moon Pluto
Actually Pluto is even smaller than our moon. The earths natural satellite the moon size is 1/6 of of earth. So now you can may be imagine how big is Pluto compared to earth. Pluto has now been downgraded from a planet to a chunk of rock.
it has a one fifth mass of earths moon and one third volume of earths moon
No. If Charon, Pluto's largest moon, were bigger, then Pluto would be the moon. Charon is abould half the diameter of Pluto.
Pluto is both smaller and less massive than our Moon.
smaller
Pluto has 3 moons, and all of them are smaller than Pluto. The largest moon, Charon, is about half the diameter of Pluto.
yes they are
no. Pluto is bigger than charon,its moon. Just remember:moons are alwayssmaller than their planet.
Ganymede is the largest moon of Jupiter, it is bigger than mercury and also Pluto. Pluto is no longer a planet
ganneymeade
yes
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 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.
No Triton is smaller than Mercury but it is bigger than Pluto
