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.
There is no such planet. Charon is the name of one of the moons of Pluto. Pluto has four other moons in addition to Charon, but they were not discovered until much later. Additionally, as of 2006 Pluto is no longer considered a planet.
Pluto is a dwarf planet with a moon called Charon as well as four others named Styx, Kerberos, Hydra, and Nix.
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.
Pluto and Charon are the closest bodies in our solar system to an answer to this question, however, neither is a planet. Pluto used to be, but times change. When Pluto was a planet, it and its moon, Charon, were the closest in size of any of the planets. Currently the planet and moon with that distinction is the earth and its moon, the Moon. But no two bodies within our solar system which are classified as planets are considered double.
Sharon is a moon of the dwarf planet Pluto. It is one of five known moons orbiting Pluto.
None. The closest case that we have in our solar system that of Charon, Pluto's largest moon, which about roughly half the diameter of Pluto. Since Pluto is no longer considered a planet the largest moon-planet size ratio is that of our own moon, which is about one quarter the diameter of Earth.
Charon takes around 6.4 Earth days to complete one orbit around Pluto. It is tidally locked with Pluto, meaning that one side always faces the planet.
Charon, one of Pluto's moons, is located in the outer region of the Solar System, orbiting around Pluto. It was discovered in 1978 and is the largest of the five known moons of Pluto. Charon is tidally locked with Pluto, meaning the same side always faces the dwarf planet.

No. Charon is tidally locked to Pluto such that one side always face toward Pluto and once side always faces away. Since Charon orbits Pluto (or rather the common center of mass between the two) the far side of Charon experiences daylight while it is night on the side facing Pluto.
Charon, Nix and Hydra are the 3 moons of Pluto. Pluto is no longer considered to be a planet, but is classified as a dwarf planet.
Neptune is now considered the outermost planet, Pluto is the next one but it is no longer considered a planet.
