how is a moon different from a planet

It has a stable orbit around a star and also must be of a certain size. Pluto is not a planet mostly due to the fact that is is smaller that our own Moon. A moon is a rocky celestial body that orbits, mainly, a planet. Big planets may have moons that, if it orbited the star, would be considered a planet.

IF IT IS A HELPFUL ANSWER PLEASE MARK ME AS BRAINLIEST

lalitc2502: Pluto is not considered a planet just because of it's size. Planets have a strong gravitational field which clears it's surrounding area from other celestial objects like meteors or asteroids. Pluto lies within the Kuiper Belt and was not able to clear the comets away from it's area. Pluto is now considered as a dwarf planet and not a planet.

lalitc2502: Pluto is not considered a planet is not because of its size. There are three criteria for which a celestial body is considered as a planet. A planet is supposed to have an orbit around a star like the sun, it has sufficient mass to have an elliptical or a round orbit around the star and it should have cleared its surrounding space from other celestial objects like meteors or comets. Pluto meets all the criteria required except the last one since it lies in the Kuiper Belt.
