It greatly depends upon their distance to one another at the time. However, the universal law of gravitational attraction applies:

F = G * ((m1*m2)/r)

where

m1 is the mass of moon 1 (kg)

m2 is the mass of moon 2 (kg)

r is the distance (m)

G is the gravitational constant

F is the force of attraction.

How many moons can be in mars?

Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos. They are thought to be asteroids captured by Mars gravitational pull.


Are there any satellites orbiting mars moons?

No, the moons of mars are too small to hold much of a gravitational pull.


Are there planets with gravity you can walk on?

All matter causes gravity. Every planet will have a gravitational attraction. Certainly Earth, Mars, our Moon, and the Jovian moons Callisto and Ganymede will be walkable.


Are mars moons held by it's gravity?

Yes, the two moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos, are held by Mars' gravity. The gravitational force of Mars keeps these moons in orbit around the planet as they move through space.


How do Mars' moons stay in their orbits around Mars?

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.


The moons of mars may have been what at one time?

The moons of Mars may have been asteroids that were captured by Mars' gravity. This theory suggests that the moons, Phobos and Deimos, were originally orbiting the Sun before being pulled in by Mars' gravitational force.


How is Mars affected by gravity?

The mutual forces of gravitational attraction between Mars and the sun are what keeps Mars in orbit around the sun, just like Earth and every other permanent member of the solar system.


What are the two moons of the planet mars?

they are called Phobos and demos.both are irregular satellites,have a very low gravitational pull and orbit mars very fast. they must have been asteroids before have being caught by mars's gravitational pull


Mars has two moons that are most similar in character to?

Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos, that are most similar in character to asteroids. They are irregularly shaped, have low density, and are believed to have been captured by Mars' gravitational pull.


Will the effect of the suns gravitational attraction on venus be smaller or larger than mars?

yes sure it is silly


Which planet has 2 captured asteroids for moons?

Mars has two captured asteroids as moons, known as Phobos and Deimos. These moons are irregularly shaped and likely originated from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter before being captured by Mars' gravity.


Are Mars moons asteroids?

No because Mars has no moons
