No.It is a satellite (moon) of Pluto, which itself was declared a "Dwarf Planet" at the International Astronomical Union (IAU) Symposium in 2006.Pluto is very small - only 2/3rds the size of Earth's moon. Charon is 1/2 that size - which is large enough that the IAU would have faced calling Pluto-Charon a "Double Planet" if they had decided to call Pluto one.However, IAU's decision was based upon the fact that there are MANY objects in similar orbits to Pluto's (some even larger than Pluto itself, such as Eris), and we would have ended up listing dozens (possibly hundreds) of objects as "Planets"No. Charon is not a planet; it is a moon of the dwarf planet Pluto.
