What planet's moon is so close in size that scientists consider it to be a binary planet?
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.
What planet is the size of earth's moon?
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.
Triton is a moon of which planet?
Triton is the largest moon of the planet Neptune. It is similar in composition and size to Pluto (even a little larger), so is thought to have been a Kuiper belt object that was 'captured' by Neptune many years ago.Triton is the largest moon of the planet Neptune.Triton orbits Neptune, and is the planet's largest moon.
Which planet has a cratered surface similar to Earths moon?
The planet Mercury has the most similar cratered surface compared to the moon.
If the earth is to the moon what is to the satellite?
The Earth is to the Moon as a planet is to its moon. So, if we're talking about a satellite orbiting a planet, then the planet would be analogous to the Earth, and the satellite would be analogous to the Moon.
How is the planet mercury and your planet similar?
It's similar to our moon.
What moon is almost the same size as the planet?
There is no planet that has the same size moon as the planet. This is only possible if Pluto was still a planet.
What planet has a very thin atmosphere similar to the moon?

What is the same size as the planet Mars?
With a radius of 3396km, the planet Mars is about the same size as the inner and outer core of the earth (which is around 3490km radius in total).

What are considered a double planet?
A double planet describes two bodies of similar size and mass that are in orbit (not necessarily around each other) . The Earth and Moon would not be considered a double planet because of the great size and mass difference between the two. However, Pluto and its moon Charon COULD be classified as a double planet- both have similar sizes and mass, and orbit a point outside of one another.
What planet's moon is close to the size of the planet?
There is no such planet known. In our solar system, the planet whose moon is closest in size to the planet which it orbits is none other than our own planet Earth. However, the Moon is still much smaller than the Earth. Pluto has a Moon that's big, but Pluto isn't a "planet" now, of course.

Which planet in the Milky Way Galaxy is similar to the planet Earths size?
Venus is closest to earths planet size.
Is the moon the mercury's sister planet?
No, because the Moon is not a planet. However, they are similar in several ways, especially their cratered surfaces.
What planet is the same size as the earths moon?
Mercury is roughly the same size, but it is bigger than our Moon.
