Solution
The correct option is A Half the diameter of Pluto
- Pluto, the dwarf planet that was once considered the ninth planet, has a growing entourage of satellites. The tiny world has five moons of varying size in orbit around it that tumble and dance in a strange and chaotic pattern.
- Pluto has one very large moon that is almost half the planet’s size. It was named Charon and the huge size of Charon (1,200 kms in diameter as compared to Pluto's diameter of 2370 kms) sometimes leads scientists to refer to Pluto and Charon as a double dwarf planet
