This is a math problem. To solve this we create a ratio of the radius of Pluto to the Moon.


(737)/(1079) showing that Pluto is about 68% the size of the moon. You asked if Pluto was less than
(2)/(3) or 66%, or less the size of the moon.

68>66 so the answer is False if you are talking about the volume or size of the two.

If you are talking about density, the ratio would be:


(1.88)/(3.34) which equals 56% so the answer would be True if you are inquiring about density.

Did that answer your question?

Pluto has 66% of the diameter of the Earth's moon and 18% of its mass.

So your answer is true
