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.
