No moon in the solar system has a moon orbiting it. Scientists think that moons orbit too close to their planets to have their own moons as the orbits would be unstable. Why Pluto has five moons while Earth only has one is a complicated story about the unique histories of each planet, but is probably at least partly related to Pluto's greater distance from the sun, which allows it a larger sphere of influence despite its smaller mass, and its location in a debris field of smaller icy objects.

Which moons are larger than planets?
Pluto's equatorial diameter is 2,274 km. The diameter of Earth's moon is 3,476 km. Jupiter has four moons larger than Pluto:-Ganymede - diameter 5,262 kmCallisto - diameter 4,800 kmIo - diameter 3,630 kmEuropa - diameter 3,138 kmSaturn has one moon larger than Pluto - Titan - diameter 5,150 kmNeptune has one moon larger than Pluto - Triton - diameter 2,700 kmThus, there are seven moons larger than Pluto in our Solar System.

Seven moons in this solar system are larger than Pluto: Ganymede, Titan, Callisto, Io, the moon, Europa, and Triton.
How many moons are bigger than Pluto in the solar system?
Seven moons in our solar system are larger than Pluto - namely Triton, Europa, Earth's moon, Io, Callisto, Titan and Ganymede.
How many moons are there in the solar system bigger than the Pluto?
Seven moons in our solar system are larger than Pluto - namely Triton, Europa, Earth's moon, Io, Callisto, Titan and Ganymede.
Which moons are bigger that which planets?
Ganymede and Titan, which are moons of Jupiter and Saturn respectively, are larger than the planet Mercury. These are the only moons larger than any planets in our solar system. It is also worth noting that Jupiter's moons Callisto, Io, and Europa; Earth's moon; and Neptune's moon Triton are larger than Pluto, but Pluto is no longer considered a planet.
