What do the moons of Mars look like?

Answer 1

The Valles Marineris looks like exactly what it is - a long, deep valley. The same is true of Olympus Mons: An enormous, extinct volcano. Those are the two most prominent surface features. Most of the rest of Mars looks like a vast, windswept desert.

Answer 2

The moons of Mars are not moons in the traditional sense, as Mars is too small to hold a major astronomical body in orbit. Instead, Deimos and Phobos are small asteroids that have been caught in orbit around Mars. From the surface of Mars Deimos and Phobos would appear as little more than moving stars, but from Earth they are undetectable without a telescope and even then extremely hard to find.

Answer 3

Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos. Both are small in size. Phobos has a diameter of 22.2 km and Deimos has a diameter of 12.6 km. Deimos surface is covered with dust and has some boulders along with a few small craters. Phobos has craters of all sizes on its surface. Phobos has long grooves about 150m long.

Answer 4

It is the 4th planet from the sun, and it is called the red planet because the dust that coats it is a redish color.

Answer 5

they look like oddly shaped potatoes, some believe that they are asteroids trapped in its gravitational pull

Answer 6

Both look like two oddly shaped potatoes, seeing as they are asteroids pulled in by Mars's gravity.
