The short answer would probably be "too many to count," as craters can range in diameter from kilometers to nanometers. A unique quality of Phobos, though, is that its largest crater, Stickney, is almost half the diameter of the moon itself.

How does the number of craters on Phobos and Deimos suggest that these moons are very old?

Phobos and Deimos are the two moons of Mars. They are small and shaped irregularly. The surfaces are scarred by many large impact craters. This is why the moons are extremely old.

Not much. You would see some impact craters, and maybe a little dust. Phobos is such a small planetary satellite that it is not even spherical.


How were craters formed on Phobos and Deimos?

The craters on Phobos and Deimos were formed by impacts from meteoroids and other space debris. These objects collide with the moons' surfaces at high speeds, creating craters of various sizes and shapes. Over time, the accumulation of impact events has resulted in the cratered appearance of both moons.


Does phobos volcanoes?

No, Phobos, one of Mars' two moons, does not have any volcanoes on its surface. Phobos is a small and heavily cratered body, and its surface is primarily made up of regolith and rocks. It is believed that Phobos is a captured asteroid rather than a volcanic body like some other moons in the Solar System.
