They don't. Charon is generally considered a moon of Pluto, however, since Charon and Pluto orbit a center of mass that is outside of Pluto some have suggested calling the Pluto-Charon system a binary or double planet.

Why do some scientists think that Charon isn't a moon of Pluto?

Charon does not truly orbit Pluto. Rather, Charon's gravity moves Pluto enough that both objects orbit around their common center of mass, which is outside of Pluto. This led to suggestions that the Pluto-Charon system be classified as a binary or double planet.


Is Pluto bigger than its moons?

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.
