The dwarf planet Pluto has five moons down to a detection limit of about 1 km in diameter. In order of distance from Pluto, they are Charon , Styx , Nix , Kerberos , and Hydra . [1] Charon, the largest of the five moons, is mutually tidally locked with Pluto, and is massive enough that Pluto–Charon is sometimes considered a double dwarf planet . [2] |

Pluto has four known moons . The largest, Charon , is proportionally larger, compared to its primary, than any other satellite of a known planet or dwarf planet in the Solar System . The other moons, Nix , Hydra , and S/2011 P 1 ("P4") [1] are much smaller. [2] The team that discovered S/2011 P 1 also found possible evidence of a couple of even fainter moons, but this needs more study to be confirmed. [3] |
