The others are Nix and Hydra.
Pluto's moons were discovered by different scientists over the years. The first moon, Charon, was discovered by James Christy in 1978. The additional moons were discovered in the 2000s through observations made by the Hubble Space Telescope.
The first quarter and third quarter moons are also called
Moons of planets are typically called natural satellites because they orbit a planet just like how the moon orbits Earth. These moons vary in size and composition depending on the planet they orbit.
Mars has two moons one is called phobos and the second is called deimos.
The craters on moons are simply called craters. They are formed by impact events from asteroids, comets, or meteoroids striking the surface of the moon.

Sedna is a dwarf planet. It is to far away to be one of plutos moons and is proved to orbit the sun
Yes, the dwarf planet Pluto has five moons down to a detection limit of about 1 km in diameter. In order of distance from Pluto, they are:CharonStyxNixKerberosHydraCharon, the largest of the five moons, is mutually tidally locked with Pluto, and is massive enough that Pluto-Charon is sometimes considered a double dwarf planet.
Pluto's three moons names are Charon, Nix, and Hydra.
plutos core kills us from coldness
Yes. Charon, Plutos largest moon, is about 1200km in diameter, while Plutos diameter is around 2322km, so Plutos diameter is about twice the size. In terms of volume though, Pluto is around 7.4 times as big.
