Answer 3

Mars has two very small moons, Phobos and Deimos, these names translate as Fear and Terror, apt names for companions of the planet named after the God of War.

Phobos is Bigger than Deimos; they are thought to be captured asteroids.

Phobos and Deimos, named after Mars' ( the greek god ) two sons. They are part of the solar system.

Mars, known as the red planet, has two moons, Deimos and Phobos. These moons are believed to be not native to Mars but were only captured by the planet's gravity.

Scientists are estimating that there are at least two more moons, but this fact hasn't been proven.

Mars has two small moons named Deimos and Phobos. They are known as minor satellites, which are small chunks of rocks that orbit a planet.

• Phobos: Phobos is the larger and closer of Mars's moons. It was discovered in 1877 and was named after the Greek god Phobos, son of Ares (Mars in Roman). The word is also an ancient Greek word for fear. Phobos has a radius of approx. 6.9 mi (11.1 km). Orbiting about 3700 mi (6000 km) above the surface of Mars, it is the closest known moon to its primary. Also, the close distance between Mars and Phobos means that Phobos has an orbital period of about 8 hours, which means that Phobos orbits Mars about 3 times a day. It is small and irregularly shaped, which is why NASA thinks it is a captured asteroid. Deimos: Deimos is the smaller and further of Mars's moons. It was discovered in 1877 and was named after the Greek god Deimos, the twin brother of Phobos and son of Ares (Mars in Roman). Deimos also means "dread". Deimos has a radius of approx. 3.9 mi (6.2 km). Orbiting around 14,580 mi (23,460) above the Martian surface, Deimos takes about 30 hrs (a little longer than a full Martian day) to make a full orbit around Mars. It is also very small though with a smoother surface than Phobos, and NASA also considers it a captured asteroid. For more information about Deimos,
