phobos and deimos
Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos. Mars orbits the sun
Mars has two small moons named Phobos and Deimos. Phobos is the larger of the two moons and orbits very close to Mars, while Deimos is smaller and orbits further away. Both moons are thought to be captured asteroids.
Yes. Mars has two moons: Phobos and Deimos
Deimos orbits the planet Mars along with Phobos
Both asteroids and moons can be rocky. An asteroid orbits the Sun while a moon orbits a planet. Mars has two moons (Deimos and Phobos) that are most likely former asteroids.
Phobos is the smaller of the two moons of Mars, with a mean radius of about 11 kilometers. It is closer to Mars than its counterpart Deimos and orbits the planet in just 7 hours and 39 minutes.
Mars, being a planet has no stars - it orbits the Sun (Sol) and has two moons.
1 sun (the same as ours) and 2 moons (Phobos and Deimos).
Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos. Phobos is the larger moon and orbits very closely to Mars, completing an orbit in less than 8 hours. Deimos is smaller and orbits further away. Both moons are irregularly shaped and are likely captured asteroids.
Mars is the only planet with two moons. Though all the large planets have at least three or four moons.
Mars' moons, Phobos and Deimos, stay in their orbits around Mars due to a combination of Mars' gravitational pull and their initial velocity when they were captured by Mars' gravity. The gravitational force from Mars keeps them in orbit, preventing them from flying off into space.
Our moon is, you know, orbits the Earth, and Mar's moon orbits around Mars. Simple.
