Plutos largest moon, Charon, is relatively large by comparison with Pluto at 1,206 km diameter. Pluto's equatorial diameter is 2,274 km.

Pluto has a moon nearly half its size.?Pluto's diameter is about 2300 km, while its moon Charon has an estimated diameter of 1200 km. Of course, remembering that volume is related to the cube of linear dimensions, that means Pluto's volume is actually about eight times that of Charon.
The planet with a moon named Charon is Pluto. Charon is the largest of Pluto's five moons and it is about half the size of Pluto itself.
The only planet close in size to the moon is Mercury, the closest planet to the sun. The mean radius of the moon is 1737.10 km The mean radius of Mercury is 2439.7 km There are many dwarf planets that are close in size to the moon, but that would be another question.
if i remember correctly, Pluto was the closest planet to the size of earths moon, but now cause Pluto is so small, it has now been classified as just rock, and not as a planet anymoreMercury
The Earth's moon is approximately 1/6 the size of Earth, making it the largest moon relative to its planet size in the solar system. Some scientists refer to the Earth-Moon system as a binary planet system due to the similar size and gravitational influence between the two bodies.
Pluto
First of all, Pluto is not a planet. It was considered a double planet because its largest moon Charon is half its size.

The planet with a moon named Charon is Pluto. Charon is the largest of Pluto's five moons and it is about half the size of Pluto itself.
There is no planet that has the same size moon as the planet. This is only possible if Pluto was still a planet.
Pluto has a moon named Charon that is about half the size of Pluto itself, making it the largest moon relative to its planet in the solar system. This close size relationship is unique among dwarf planets.
Within our own solar system, some view Pluto as being a double planet with it's moon Charon (which is half it's size).
Moons do not have to be any size but if the moon is bigger than the planet that it orbits, then the moon becomes the planet because it has more gravitational force.
None. The closest case that we have in our solar system that of Charon, Pluto's largest moon, which about roughly half the diameter of Pluto. Since Pluto is no longer considered a planet the largest moon-planet size ratio is that of our own moon, which is about one quarter the diameter of Earth.
yes bithchy freaks
One could call it that, but it is more properly a trans-Neptunian object, much like Pluto. It is about half the size of Pluto, and has a relatively large moon for it's size (also like Pluto).
Yes, Pluto's moon, Charon is over half its size
