No, a moon is not considered a planet. Moons are natural satellites that orbit planets. Planets are celestial bodies that orbit a star and do not orbit other celestial bodies.

What planet is considered a double planet with its moon?

None. Pluto-Charon was almost considered one in 2006, though that would be a dwarf double planet rather than a true double planet as Pluto is not a planet. In billions of years the Earth and Moon will be a double planet. Also, the question is non-sensical because if it was a double planet then they would both be planets... so there would be no moon. A planet would be considered a double planet with it's opposite planet, not moon.


What is sometimes considered a double planet?

Earth and the Moon.
