yes
Gravity tends to pull them together.
Mars' moons are much smaller than, for example, Earth's Moon, or the larger moons of Jupiter. A large moon will have a larger gravity, which will tend to pull the moon together into a spherical shape.
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.
Mars has two moons.
Yes, all planets in our solar system are held in orbit around the Sun by the force of gravity. Gravity is what keeps celestial bodies like planets, moons, and asteroids moving in their respective orbits.
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.
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.
Yes, it is commonly thought the moons originated as asteroids, pulled from the belt by gravity.
Most hypotheses on the formation of Phobos, one of the two moons of Mars, hold it to be an asteroid that was captured into orbit by the gravity of Mars.

No because Mars has no moons

mars has only 2 moons.
I think they get caught in the moons gravity and are flung like a slingshot when the moon orbits.
