Phobos and Deimos are the two moons of Mars. They are small and shaped irregularly. The surfaces are scarred by many large impact craters. This is why the moons are extremely old.

How many light bulbs do we use?

The number of light bulbs in use globally is difficult to pinpoint exactly, but estimates suggest there are billions of light bulbs in households, businesses, and public spaces worldwide. Advances in energy efficiency, such as the shift from incandescent to LED bulbs, have influenced usage patterns. On average, a typical household may have anywhere from 30 to 50 light bulbs, depending on size and lighting needs. Overall, the total number reflects the growing demand for lighting in modern society.

Is there a connection between the mass of a planet and how many moons it has?

The mass of a planet has nothing to do with its number of moons. For instance, Mars' mass is much less than that of Earth, yet Mars has two moons (Deimos and Phobos) while the Earth has one. (Luna)

Tiny planets that orbit Mars and Jupiter?

Objects that orbit a planet are called moons or satellites, they are not planets. Both Mars and Jupiter have moons; Jupiter has a lot more than Mars does, and some of them are quite large, too. The two moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos, are relatively small, perhaps even tiny.


What can scientists discover by counting the number of craters on a surface?

Scientists can discover the relative age of two objects by counting the number of craters on their surfaces. The longer an object has been in space, the more craters it should have. Comparing the number of craters on two objects in space will determine which is older.

How often do eclipses occur with the moons on mars?

Yes, in a sense. But, the solar "eclipses" on Mars would better be referred to as transits. The moons of Mars are much too small to block more than a small portion of the sun as seen from Mars. An observer on the surface of Mars would not even notice the difference without special equipment.
