Earth-like planet the size of Callisto with Io-like moon. Plausible?

+0
−0

Good afternoon! I'm working on a fantasy series set on a very small planet, roughly the size of Pluto or the Moon. I've already read some topics on the small earth-like planets, but mine's a bit unique. Here's why:

(Few parts edited)

The Planet

  • Roughly the size between Pluto and Callisto (2370-4800km diameter)
  • Same gravity (maybe a bit less) as Earth
  • Slightly warmer temperatures than on Earth
  • Slightly shorter days and years
  • Geologically active (= moving plates and active volcanos)
  • Able to sustain intelligent life

The moon

  • The size of Io
  • Geologically active like Io
  • Similar surface like Io
  • Basically the same as Io

I have changed few things since the last post. The planet may be upscaled, Pluto-sized planet was maybe an overkill.

I will be very thankful for any answer!
