It is at least bigger than the Moon. That is why Pluto was not considered as a planet in 2007. Hope this helps.

Edit: A particular size is not a requirement to be classified as a planet.

Pluto wasn't "demoted" from being a planet because of its size.

Also it's not a requirement that a planet has to be a solid.

Astronomers only came up with a definition of "planet" in 2006. I suppose

they could have decided planets had to be solid, but they didn't.
