Why doesn’t the moon have a name?
If our moon is called "The Moon", should the earth called "The Planet"?
It makes me think of that Kentuckian who named his dog, DAWG.
The following is a small list of planets and moons, with their diameters.
nine planets
Jupiter=142984 km, Moons:Ganymede=5262 km, Callisto=4800 km, IO=3630 km
Saturn=120536 km, Titan=5150 km
Earth=12756 km, Moon=3474 km
Mercury=4880 km
Pluto=2320 km, Moon: Charon=1207 km
Hale-Bopp Comet=1,100 km
Ceres Asteroid=933 km
Whats a little smaller than Pluto, but larger than Mercury? The MOON (our moon)
Saturn has a moon that is made mostly of ice...ain't that a kick in the head.
All the planets except for Pluto follow the same orbital plain,
I was just putting things in perspective.
