What else can I help you with?
What do the moons Phobos and Deimos orbit?
The moons Phobos and Deimos revolve around the planet Mars.
Are there moons orbiting the planet Mars?
Yes. Two moons orbit the planet Mars: Phobos and Deimos.
Planet with the moon Phobos?
This, as well as Deimos, are the moons of Mars.
What planet does the moon Deimos orbit?
Deimos orbits the planet Mars along with Phobos
Which direction is Phobos from Mars?
Phobos orbits Mars in a close-in, nearly circular orbit that is closer to Mars than any other moon is to its planet in the solar system. It moves in a westward (retrograde) motion compared to the rotation of Mars, rising in the west and setting in the east.
Could Jupiter orbit one of Mars moons?
No, the moons of Mars (Phobos and Phoebe) orbit Mars. Jupiter is another planet and has its own moons.
What is the length of day on Phobos?
The length of a day on Phobos is approximately 7 hours and 39 minutes. Phobos is the innermost and larger moon of Mars, and it has a very fast orbit around the planet, resulting in a quick rotation period.
What are the two moon on mars?
If they're on Mars I have to say Hellas and Argyre. [/nerd joke] If it's in orbit around it I say Phobos and Deimos.
How long does it take the moon Phobos to orbit the moon?
Phobos doesn't orbit the moon. It orbits Mars.
Why thus the phobos is faster than the deimos?
Phobos orbits Mars at a much closer distance than Deimos, completing its orbit in about 7.6 hours, while Deimos takes about 30.3 hours to orbit the planet. This proximity results in a faster orbital speed for Phobos, as objects closer to a planet experience stronger gravitational pull, leading to quicker orbits. Additionally, because Phobos is moving faster than Mars's rotation, it appears to rise in the west and set in the east, unlike Deimos.
Planet with 2 moons?
Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos. These moons are irregular in shape and are thought to be captured asteroids. They orbit close to the planet's surface compared to other moons in the solar system.
In what direction does Phobos rise and set from mars?
Phobos rises in the west and sets in the east.
