The rotation of Phobos is Synchronous meaning ''Existing or occurring at the same time.''
Phobos, one of Mars' moons, orbits in a prograde motion around Mars, meaning it follows the same direction as the planet's rotation.
The length of a day on Phobos is approximately 7 hours and 39 minutes. Phobos is the innermost and larger moon of Mars, and it has a very fast orbit around the planet, resulting in a quick rotation period.
Phobos is in a synchronos orbit round Mars. This means that (like our moon,) it rorates once for each orbit it makes and it therefore always presents the same face to Mars. The orbital (and thus rotational) period of Phobos is 7h 39.2min.
Phobos doesn't orbit the moon. It orbits Mars.
Phobos monolith is a rock on the moon which is sizebly large and goes round planet Mars.
Phobos, one of Mars' moons, orbits in a prograde motion around Mars, meaning it follows the same direction as the planet's rotation.
Phobos rises in the west and sets in the east.
The length of a day on Phobos is approximately 7 hours and 39 minutes. Phobos is the innermost and larger moon of Mars, and it has a very fast orbit around the planet, resulting in a quick rotation period.
Phobos, one of Mars' moons, has a rotational speed that allows it to complete one rotation on its axis approximately every 7 hours and 39 minutes. Interestingly, this rotation period is longer than its orbital period around Mars, which is about 6 hours and 9 minutes. As a result, Phobos rises in the west and sets in the east on Mars, a unique characteristic among celestial bodies.
Phobos orbits Mars in a close-in, nearly circular orbit that is closer to Mars than any other moon is to its planet in the solar system. It moves in a westward (retrograde) motion compared to the rotation of Mars, rising in the west and setting in the east.
Yes. Phobos does have rocks. :)
Phobos is one of the two moons of Mars.
The answer for this question is Phobos. Phobos is bigger than Deimos. Phobos and Deimos are the moons on Mars.
Phobos is in a synchronos orbit round Mars. This means that (like our moon,) it rorates once for each orbit it makes and it therefore always presents the same face to Mars. The orbital (and thus rotational) period of Phobos is 7h 39.2min.
Mars has two moons: Phobos and Deimos. Both moons are irregularly shaped and are thought to be captured asteroids from the asteroid belt.
The name Phobos means "fear" or "panic" in Greek. In Greek mythology, Phobos was the god of fear and a companion to Ares, the god of war. Phobos is also the name of one of the moons of Mars.
Yes, Phobos is bigger than Deimos. Phobos mass is .00000018 and Deimos mass is .000000024. Phobos is 12X8 (miles) and Deimos is 7X6
