Pluto has five satellites(moon) which are Charon, Styx, Nix, Kerberos and Hydra out of which Charon is the Biggest. However, It is approximately half of pluto. If the Charon was bigger than pluto, We would probably be seeing pluto rotating around Charon. This is because,Charon would have more gravitional force than that of pluto as Its size would be bigger. Simply put, Bigger things dont revolve around smaller things. So, Pluto's moons are not bigger than Pluto.
True. Earth's moon is larger than Pluto, with a diameter of about 3,474 km compared to Pluto's diameter of about 2,377 km.
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.
NO......... Ganymede, a moon of Jupiter, is the largest in this solar system. At 5,268 km at the equator, it is larger than Mercury, the dwarf planet Pluto, and three times larger than the Moon orbiting Earth. Even it is 3 times larger than earth's moon it is still not big enough to oversize earth.
Triton is the largest of Neptune's 13 moons. It is unusual because it is the only large moon in our solar system that orbits in the opposite direction of its planet's rotation - a retrograde orbit
Pluto, although it isn't a proper planet is smaller than the moon
Pluto has 3 moons, and all of them are smaller than Pluto. The largest moon, Charon, is about half the diameter of Pluto.
Pluto is the dwarf planet that is smaller than the Earth's moon.
The average diameter of Pluto is 67.51% the diameter of the moon. This is just barley less than two-thirds the size of the moon. If you look at volume, Pluto has 30% the volume of the moon, so, by volume, Pluto is much less than two-thirds the size of Earth's moon. (If you look at mass, Pluto is much less massive, having only 17.89% the mass of the moon.)
it has a one fifth mass of earths moon and one third volume of earths moon
True. Earth's moon is larger than Pluto, with a diameter of about 3,474 km compared to Pluto's diameter of about 2,377 km.
No. If the object acompanying Pluto was larger than it, then Pluto would be the moon. Pluto's largest moon, Charon, has a little more than half of Pluto's diameter.
The ratio of the diameter of Pluto to the diameter of its moon Charon is about 1:1, making it larger than the ratio of the diameter of the Moon to Earth, which is 0.25:1. This means Charon is relatively much larger compared to Pluto than the Moon is to Earth.
Pluto.
Ganymede is the largest moon of Jupiter, it is bigger than mercury and also Pluto. Pluto is no longer a planet
Seven moons in this solar system are larger than Pluto: Ganymede, Titan, Callisto, Io, the moon, Europa, and Triton.
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.
No, Eris is a dwarf planet, and is larger than Pluto and farther from the Sun.
