What is the period of revolution for the moon Charon?
there isn't a correct answer, but i suggest you take a look at NASA s website have a look at Moons, there should be a fact file on the moon Charon. Another viewpoint: I think there is a correct answer. Charon's period of revolution (around Pluto) is about 6.387 Earth days.
Why do some scientists think that Charon isn't a moon of Pluto?
Charon does not truly orbit Pluto. Rather, Charon's gravity moves Pluto enough that both objects orbit around their common center of mass, which is outside of Pluto. This led to suggestions that the Pluto-Charon system be classified as a binary or double planet.
Why does Pluto's moon charon orbit around the earth instead of Pluto?
It doesn't. Charon is much too far away to be influenced by Earth's gravity. Charon is gravitationally bound to Pluto, but technically does not orbit it. Because Charon is fairly massive compared to Pluto the two object orbit around their common center of mass, which lies outside of Pluto.
How long does it take charon to orbit Pluto?
Charon takes around 6.4 Earth days to complete one orbit around Pluto. It is tidally locked with Pluto, meaning that one side always faces the planet.
How does the orbit of Neptune's moon Triton by Charon that of other satellites?
It is the only large moon in the Solar System with a retrograde orbit, which is an orbit in the opposite direction to its planet's rotation.

What is the Charon of the moon?
Charon has nothing to do with our moons; it is the largest of five moons that orbit Pluto.
Why do some scientists think that Charon isn't a moon of Pluto?
Charon does not truly orbit Pluto. Rather, Charon's gravity moves Pluto enough that both objects orbit around their common center of mass, which is outside of Pluto. This led to suggestions that the Pluto-Charon system be classified as a binary or double planet.
Which way does Pluto orbit?
it orbits backwards with one moon charon.
Why does Pluto's moon charon orbit around the earth instead of Pluto?
It doesn't. Charon is much too far away to be influenced by Earth's gravity. Charon is gravitationally bound to Pluto, but technically does not orbit it. Because Charon is fairly massive compared to Pluto the two object orbit around their common center of mass, which lies outside of Pluto.
Why do astronomers think that charon is another planet?
They don't. Charon is generally considered a moon of Pluto, however, since Charon and Pluto orbit a center of mass that is outside of Pluto some have suggested calling the Pluto-Charon system a binary or double planet.
What are the number of satellite of planet Pluto?
Yes, there is a satellite that orbits around Pluto its name is Charon. Charon is half the size of Pluto, with a diameter of 1200km. Pluto and Charon orbit each other like double planets.
How long does it take charon to orbit Pluto?
Charon takes around 6.4 Earth days to complete one orbit around Pluto. It is tidally locked with Pluto, meaning that one side always faces the planet.
How many years until Pluto gets eclipsed by Charon once again?
From the Wikipedia article, "Solar eclipses on Pluto": "The next period of time when solar eclipses can occur on Pluto will begin October 2103, peak in 2110, and end January 2117. During this period, solar eclipses will occur at some point on Pluto every orbit of Charon."
How does the orbit of Neptune's moon Triton by Charon that of other satellites?
It is the only large moon in the Solar System with a retrograde orbit, which is an orbit in the opposite direction to its planet's rotation.
What is charon in the solar system?
Charon is the largest moon of Pluto, a dwarf planet that was once considered a planet. Charon is so massive compared to Pluto that rather than Charon orbiting Pluto, the two objects orbit a common center of mass. This leads some to called Pluto-Charon a binary planetary system.
Where was Charon the moon Moon found?
Charon is a moon discovered in 1978, in orbit around the dwarf planet Pluto. It was discovered at the United States Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station.
