Best Answer

The sizes range from dwarf-planet size down to tiny shepherding moons among the rings. The two largest moons, Ganymede and Callisto, are 5200 and 4800 km in diameter respectively, nearly half the size of Earth. One of the smallest, Mneme, is only 2 km in diameter, and newly discovered moons are likely to be smaller still.

Mars has two moons, both of which are very small. Phobos masses 1x10^16 kg. Deimos masses 1.8x10^15, and is small enough that with a really good kick off its surface you could achieve escape velocity.

In comparison, earth's moon is 7.4x10^22 kg. That is seven million times heavier than Phobos. Their sizes are roughly comparable to their masses.
