Charon is so far away and so small that astronomers are unable to see it from Earth. It is therefore unsure whether Charon has craters but it is likely as every other planet and moon in the solar system has been bombarded by meteors in the past.
Pluto has a moon called Charon, but it also has 4 other moons.
Pluto is only called a dwarf planet now.

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.
The dwarf planet Pluto.
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.
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.

The is no planet Charon. Charon is a moon of the dwarf planet Pluto. Charon was discovered by James Christy in 1978.
Charon is a moon of Pluto, which is not actually a planet.
No. The planet Pluto is a solid dwarf planet. The moon Charon is a solid moon.
Charon is a natural satellite of Pluto, but Pluto is a planetesimal, not a planet.
No. Charon is not a planet; it is the largest moon of the dwarf planet Pluto. The smallest planet is Mercury.
It is a moon of the dwarf planet Pluto. They are so nearly the same size it could almost be called a double planet system
The dwarf planet Pluto.
Titan is a moon of Saturn, not Pluto. Pluto's main moon is Charon. Regardless, neither Titan nor Charon are planets because they do not orbit the sun. Titan orbits the planet Saturn while Charon orbits the Pluto-Charon barycenter.
