How much bigger is our moon than Pluto?
Pluto has 3 moons, and all of them are smaller than Pluto. The largest moon, Charon, is about half the diameter of Pluto.
The ratio of the diameter of the Moon to the diameter of the Earth is 0.25 Is the ratio for the Charon-Pluto system larger or smaller than this?
The ratio of the diameter of Pluto to the diameter of its moon Charon is about 1:1, making it larger than the ratio of the diameter of the Moon to Earth, which is 0.25:1. This means Charon is relatively much larger compared to Pluto than the Moon is to Earth.
How does Pluto compare in size to its moon?
Yes, if you mean half its diameter as opposed to half its mass.Pluto's diameter is approximately 2732 km. As of 2015 it's known to have five moons:Charon: diameter 1208 km; mass about 1/8 that of PlutoNix, Kerberos, Hydra, and Styx: all very small and irregularly shaped; sizes not yet precisely measured.
Is the Earth's moon smaller than Pluto?
it has a one fifth mass of earths moon and one third volume of earths moon
What is Bigger Earth or Pluto?
Actually Pluto is even smaller than our moon. The earths natural satellite the moon size is 1/6 of of earth. So now you can may be imagine how big is Pluto compared to earth. Pluto has now been downgraded from a planet to a chunk of rock.
How much bigger is our moon than Pluto?
Pluto has 3 moons, and all of them are smaller than Pluto. The largest moon, Charon, is about half the diameter of Pluto.
Does Pluto have a moon that is half of it's size?
Pluto's largest moon Charon is about half Pluto's diameter.
Is Pluto's moons bigger that it?
No. If Charon, Pluto's largest moon, were bigger, then Pluto would be the moon. Charon is abould half the diameter of Pluto.
The ratio of the diameter of the Moon to the diameter of the Earth is 0.25 Is the ratio for the Charon-Pluto system larger or smaller than this?
The ratio of the diameter of Pluto to the diameter of its moon Charon is about 1:1, making it larger than the ratio of the diameter of the Moon to Earth, which is 0.25:1. This means Charon is relatively much larger compared to Pluto than the Moon is to Earth.
Is it true Pluto is smaller than Earth's moon?
Yes. Pluto's diameter is about two-thirds that of our moon.
True or false Earth's moon is larger than Pluto?
True. Earth's moon is larger than Pluto, with a diameter of about 3,474 km compared to Pluto's diameter of about 2,377 km.
Which planet has a moon more than half its size?
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.
Is Pluto less than two thirds the size of earths moon?
The average diameter of Pluto is 67.51% the diameter of the moon. This is just barley less than two-thirds the size of the moon. If you look at volume, Pluto has 30% the volume of the moon, so, by volume, Pluto is much less than two-thirds the size of Earth's moon. (If you look at mass, Pluto is much less massive, having only 17.89% the mass of the moon.)
Which planet has a moon which is close to it in diameter?
Dwarf planet Pluto has the moon Charon which is almost half its diameter (2390 km and 1205 km), but Pluto is no longer a planet... The next one is the Earth with the Moon having a diameter 0.273 times the Earth's.
How does Pluto compare in size to its moon?
Yes, if you mean half its diameter as opposed to half its mass.Pluto's diameter is approximately 2732 km. As of 2015 it's known to have five moons:Charon: diameter 1208 km; mass about 1/8 that of PlutoNix, Kerberos, Hydra, and Styx: all very small and irregularly shaped; sizes not yet precisely measured.
Which moon is as large as the planet it orbits?
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.
Does Pluto have any moons bigger than itself?
No. If the object acompanying Pluto was larger than it, then Pluto would be the moon. Pluto's largest moon, Charon, has a little more than half of Pluto's diameter.
