Charon's diameter is about 1207 km, just over half that of Pluto, with a surface area of 4 580 000 km ( B. Sicardy et al. (2006). "Charon's size and an upper limit on its atmosphere from a stellar occultation". Nature 439)
Pluto has a moon that is about half its size
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.
Pluto's largest moon is called Charon and it takes 6.39 days to travel around Pluto! It is also the largest moon in comparison to its "parent" planet in the solar system! (about half the size of Pluto)
Pluto would be the best answer, but Pluto is only a dwarf planet. Also its largest moon, Charon, is still not as big as Pluto itself.
One unusual aspect of Pluto's moon is that it is nearly half the size of Pluto itself, making it one of the largest moons relative to its planet in the solar system. Additionally, its orbit is highly elliptical and tilted, unlike most other moons that orbit closer to their planet's equator.

No its half as big as pluto.
Pluto's largest moon Charon is about half Pluto's diameter.
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.)
Plutos largest moon, Charon, is relatively large by comparison with Pluto at 1,206 km diameter. Pluto's equatorial diameter is 2,274 km.Read more: Which_planet_has_a_moon_that_is_more_than_half_its_size
no but it is smaller than the moon
Yes, Pluto's moon, Charon is over half its size
Pluto has a moon that is about 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.
No. Pluto's largest moon, Charon, is not the largest moon in the solar system. It is, however, the largest moon in proportion to its parent body.
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.
