What else can I help you with?
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.
Does Phobos have seasons?
Phobos does not have seasons like Earth does because it is tidally locked to Mars, meaning the same side always faces the planet. This results in a consistent temperature on the surface of the moon.
What planet is the moon Phobos associated with?
Phobos is one of the moons of Mars. It is the larger of the two moons orbiting Mars and is an irregularly shaped object with a heavily cratered surface.
What is Phobos made of?
Phobos is composed of a mixture of rock and dust, with a high content of carbon-rich materials. It has a surface that is heavily cratered and marked by grooves, possibly caused by impacts from larger celestial bodies. Phobos' rocky composition suggests it is likely a captured asteroid.
Are Phobos and Deimos similar?
Yes, Phobos and Deimos are similar in that they are both moons of Mars. However, they have differences in size, shape, and surface composition, with Phobos being the larger and closer moon compared to Deimos.
How far is Mars from Phobos?
9,377 km on average. 9,377km is the average of the periapsis and apoapsis of Phobos' orbit around Mars. But aren't the apses measured from the gravitational focus which would be near the center of Mars. If that is true, then the equatorial radius of Mars of 3396km should be subtracted from 9377km which would give an approximate distance of 5981km. Of course, Phobos also has a radius of 11km, so the distance between the surface of Phobos and the surface of Mars would be approximately and on average about 5970km. Yes that is the correct answer. 5970 km on average from the surface of Mars.
Are mars moons Phobos Deimos Olympus?
Mars only has two moons; 'Phobos' & 'Deimos' ('Fear' & 'Panic' translated...) Olympus Mons is the name of a huge volcano on the surface of Mars
What is the surface temperature range of Phobos moon of mars?
Maximum Temp. is -4 degree C. Minimum Temp. is -112 degree C.
What do the moons of Mars look like?
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.
What is the atmospheric air pressure of Phobos?
it is either zero or very, VERY near zero. A zero air pressure implies there is no atmosphere. Phobos is merely a captured asteroid, these objects are too small, not enough mass, to be capable of a large enough gravitational field to maintain an atmosphere.
Is mars moon Phobos made of rock.?
The largest moon of mars is Phobos; Phobos is believed to be composed of carbon-rich rock like that found in C-type asteroids that exist in the outer asteroid belt.
What color is Phobos?
The color of Phobos is only based on telescopic images of it. To most, it appears to be a reddish-tan color.
