What else can I help you with?
Why are celestial objects in our solar system such as moons earth and mars are spheres?
Gravity tends to pull them together.
Why are mars moons and the smaller moons of the outer planets an irregular shape while the larger moons discussed in the exploration are spherical?
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.
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.
What planets has only two moons?
Mars has two moons.
Are all planets held by a force called gravity?
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.
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.
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.
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.
How did Phobos form?
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.

Are Mars moons asteroids?
No because Mars has no moons
How many moons you have a Mars?
Mars has two moons.
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.
How many moons does mars had?
mars has only 2 moons.
How do meteors from Mars arive on Earth?
I think they get caught in the moons gravity and are flung like a slingshot when the moon orbits.
What planets has only two moons?
Mars has two moons.
