Phobos orbits Mars. So the distance between Earth and Phobos is essentially the same as the distance between Earth and Mars. This distance varies from 3-1 AU (astronomical units) to 3+1 AU.
One AU is about 93 million miles.

What are the 3 moons of the inner planets?
The Moon (Earth), Phobos (Mars) and Deimos (Mars).
How long does it take the moon Phobos to orbit the moon?
Phobos doesn't orbit the moon. It orbits Mars.
Why don't terrestrial planets have rocky moons?
They do. Earth's moon is rocky as are the moons of Mars; Phobos and Deimos.
What is the names of the moon that orbits the inner planets?
Neither Mercury nor Venus has any moons. The Earth has the Moon, and Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos.
What is Phobos climate?
Phobos is a moon of the planet Mars. It is too small to have an atmosphere so it has no climate.
What is Mars biggest moon?
earth has but one moon
Are there any gases on the moon Phobos?
As far as we know, no.
How far away is Phobos from Earth?
Phobos is 48,340,000 miles from the planet Earth. Phobos is one of two satellites of Mars and was first discovered in 1877.
What are the moons of the inner planets?
Earth has the Moon Mars has Phobos & Deimos.
Which planets moon are closer to the earth than the sun?
Earth's (Luna) and Mars's (Diemos and Phobos).
What planet is the moon Phobos associated with?
Phobos is a moon of Mars.
How far are mars moons are and what are their names?
Mars' moon are named Phobos and Deimos. The semimajor axes of their orbits are about 9400 km and 23500 km respectively. This is much closer to Mars than the Moon is to Earth, but the Moon is much, much larger, and from the surface of Mars its moons would appear very small... Phobos might appear as large as 1/3 the apparent size of the Moon from Earth, but Deimos would be a tiny speck, difficult to distinguish from a star. Both Phobos and Deimos are believed to be captured asteroids.
What are the 3 moons of the inner planets?
The Moon (Earth), Phobos (Mars) and Deimos (Mars).
How many rings and moons does Jupiter have?

How long does it take the moon Phobos to orbit the moon?
Phobos doesn't orbit the moon. It orbits Mars.
Which moon is the closest to its home planet?
The moon Phobos orbits Mars in a nearly circular orbit that puts it closer to its host planet than any other known moon in the Solar System. Phobos oftens approaches within 5826 km of the typical Martian surface features. To give you an idea how close that is, our moon only gets about 354,990 km from Earth's surface. (If you're reading about orbits and distances elsewhere, remember that most sources list the distance from the center of the moon to the center of the planet.)
Is the planet mercury the closest planet to the moon?
No. Earth is technically the closest planet to the moon. Mars is the closest planet to a moon, with Phobos being only 9.4Mm away from Mars. Earth's moon is an average distance of 370Mm from Earth.
