Its Earth, with its one moon which is called `The Moon`. Although our moon is not the largest in the solar system, it still comparatively large compared to its planet. The other large moons in the solar system are around much larger outer planets. If we consider dwarf planet Pluto, there is an even bigger moon in comparison (Charon).

Is charon a dwarf planet?

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.

Which satellite is proportional to its planet?

There aren't really ANY satellites that are "proportional" to the planet. Satellites range in size from very tiny to almost-planet-sized.

However, if we include dwarf planets, then Charon a moon of Pluto is actually the largest compared to it's "parent" planet.
