Best Answer

Mars is 15.1% as volumous as Earth, meaning it takes up 15.1% of the space that Earth would fill. The moon on the other hand is 2% of the volume of the Earth making the volume of Mars about 7.5 times that of our moon. Mars is also about 9 times as massive as our moon. So yes, Mars is larger. Interestingly, the gravity on Mars is only 2.3 times the moon's gravity despite Mars having 9 times as much mass. This is because you are closer to the center of the moon's gravity when standing on the surfcace.

Yes. It is much larger. Our Moon has a diameter of 3,474 kilometres. Phobos is about 26 kilometres long by about 22 kilometres across. Deimos is only about 15 kilometres long by 12 kilometres across.

Earth only has one moon. It is far larger than the moons of Mars. If our moon had its own orbit around the sun it would be considered a planet. If Mars' moons had their own orbits they would merely be asteroids.

Mars is much smaller than Neptune. See links. The mass of Mars is roughly one tenth the mass of earth. The mass of Neptune is roughly 17 times the mass of earth.
