The Wikipedia lists a gravitational acceleration of 0.003 9 m/s2. I am quite sure this is an estimate or calculation, and has never actually been measured. For comparison, Earth's gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s2.

∙ 13y agoThe gravity at the equator of Deimos is about 0.003 9 m/s²
For comparison, the gravity of Earth is 9.780327 m/s2

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
Equals What are the names of Mars' moons?
Mars has two moons: Phobos and Deimos. The names mean "panic" and "terror."
What are the phases of Phobos and Deimos?

What suggests that Phobos and Deimos were captured by mars gravity?
The simple fact that they orbit Mars, suggests that they were captured by Mars' gravity.
What is the diameter of Deimos?
The diameter of Deimos is 12.6 kilometers long
What is the material of Deimos?
Deimos the smaller outer moon of Mars is made of carbon rich rock similar to C-type asteroids leading scientist to believe it originated in the asteroid belt. Astronomers believe both Deimos and it's larger neighbor Phobos was disturbed by Jupiter and captured by the gravity of Mars.
Is it true that Deimos and Phobos are believed to be asteroids from the belt between Mars and Jupiter pulled by Mars' gravity?
Yes, it is commonly thought the moons originated as asteroids, pulled from the belt by gravity.
Does Deimos have carbon dioxide?
No. Deimos does not have an atmosphere.
Is moon Deimos?
No. Deimos is one of the moons of Mars.
