What property is responsible for the non-spherical shape of Phobos and Deimos?
The property responsible for the non-spherical shape of both the moons is the planet Mars doesn't have a strong enough gravitational influence over the moons to make them spherical. This is also why they have a highly eccentric orbit.
Are the planets' moons all spherical?
No. Only the larger moons are spherical. Smaller moons do not have strong enough gravity to make themselves round and so are irregular in shape. Perfect example are Phobos and Deimos, the two tiny moons that orbit Mars.
What is the rotation of phobos?
The rotation of Phobos is Synchronous meaning ''Existing or occurring at the same time.''
What is Phobos climate?
Phobos is a moon of the planet Mars. It is too small to have an atmosphere so it has no climate.
What is the phobos monolith?
Phobos monolith is a rock on the moon which is sizebly large and goes round planet Mars.
What can you find on Phobos?
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.

What is the atmosphere of Phobos?
there is no atmosphere on Phobos.
Equals What are the names of Mars' moons?
Mars has two moons: Phobos and Deimos. The names mean "panic" and "terror."
Does phobos have rocks?
Yes. Phobos does have rocks. :)
What gases are in the atmosphere of Phobos?
Phobos has no atmosphere.
Where is the Phobos?
Phobos is one of the two moons of Mars.
What does the name Phobos mean?
Phobos means fear.
Which moon is bigger from Mars?
The answer for this question is Phobos. Phobos is bigger than Deimos. Phobos and Deimos are the moons on Mars.
Is Phobos larger than Deimos?
Yes, Phobos is bigger than Deimos. Phobos mass is .00000018 and Deimos mass is .000000024. Phobos is 12X8 (miles) and Deimos is 7X6
What is unusual about Phobos and Deimos?
Phobos and Deimos, the two moons of Mars are unusual in two main ways: 1. Neither moon is spherical (round). Not even close. 2. Neither moon originally formed in its orbit around Mars, they were 'captured' by Mars' force of gravity. They are almost for sure former asteroids that strayed close enough to Mars to start orbiting it.
