Pluto and Charon are the closest bodies in our solar system to an answer to this question, however, neither is a planet. Pluto used to be, but times change. When Pluto was a planet, it and its moon, Charon, were the closest in size of any of the planets. Currently the planet and moon with that distinction is the earth and its moon, the Moon. But no two bodies within our solar system which are classified as planets are considered double.

How many double planet systems are in the solar system?
There are no double planet systems in our solar system. The closest to being considered a double planet are Pluto and its largest moon Charon, but since Charon is significantly smaller than Pluto, it is not classified as a double planet system.
What is the stinky planet?
There is no known planet that is specifically known for being stinky. Our solar system's planets do not have a scent.
Why are there eight planets in the solar system?
There were nine planets. Then astronomers got together and decided what to do with Eris, a dwarf planet that was discovered. They decided to make a definition for what is a planet. That led to Pluto being demoted to a dwarf planet.
Are tiny planets called planets?
Yes, tiny planets are still called planets as long as they meet the criteria of orbiting a star, being spherical in shape, and clearing their orbit of other debris. Size does not define whether an object is considered a planet.
Can double stars have planets?
It is possible but a planet in a binary star system would have a complex orbit that might not be very stable in the long term, so there is a chance of it being swallowed up by one of the stars.

Is the coldest planet Uranus or Neptune?
Neptune. It depends on what is being compared: core of planets OR atmosphere of planets.

How is a planet different then a dwarf planet?
Dwarf planets are just a fancier way of saying "Small planet" being that Pluto is now considered one.
Your solar system is found between the planets?
The solar system is found between the orbits of two planets, with the innermost known planet being Mercury and the outermost known planet being Neptune. The solar system also consists of other celestial bodies such as dwarf planets, moons, asteroids, and comets.
Which planet is only the dwarf planet Pluto is smaller?
Pluto is smaller than all eight planets, even Mercury. It's the second largest confirmed dwarf planet (out of the five dwarf planets). The largest being Eris.
Is Neptune a terrestrial ar a jovian planet?
Neptune is one of the Jovian planets. It is a gas giant, as opposed to being a terrestrial planet.
Are tiny planets called planets?
Yes, tiny planets are still called planets as long as they meet the criteria of orbiting a star, being spherical in shape, and clearing their orbit of other debris. Size does not define whether an object is considered a planet.
Is the sun closer to earth than a planet?
There are 2 planets that are closer to the Sun than Earth, the planets obviously being Mercury and Venus.
Why asteroid is said to be a planet?
A planet used to be defined as an object that orbits the Sun. Asteroids orbit the Sun, so are planets. Recently The definition of Planet has been revised so that they are not considered planets any more. (The redefinition has lead to Pluto no-longer being a planet too.)
