Pluto's unique orbit and binary relationship with Charon reveal a complex dwarf planet system

3 days ago

Why is Pluto sometimes considered part of a binary system with its moon Charon?

Because Charon is larger than Pluto and dominates the system gravitationally. Because Pluto and Charon share the same orbital period around the Sun. Because the barycenter of their orbits lies outside both Pluto and Charon, indicating they orbit a common point in space.
