How many moons/rings does Mars have?

Answer 1

2 moons: Phobos and Deimos. No rings.

The two moons are MUCH smaller than Earth's moon - in fact, they look more like asteroids than a "moon." From the surface of Mars, they appear like stars, and not like our moon does. Phobos orbits Mars every 7 hours, which is fast enough to make it rise in the west and set in the east several times a day.

Deimos, on the other hand orbits at about the same speed that Mars rotates, so it takes Diemos almost 3 days to travel across the Martian sky.

Answer 2

How Many Moons Orbit Mars

Answer 3

Theory predicts that Mars should have a ring, but it hasn't been detected yet (though there is some indirect evidence). There's enough confidence in the theory that at least two Mars probes have had dust detectors on board to look for them.

I'd go for 2 moons and probably 1 ring.

Answer 5

There is actually one ring around mars formed from tiny particals ejected from the planet and from the moons themselves. There is an entire paper written about it. Take a look.

Answer 6

Dr Dave P didn't read the very first paragraph of the link he gave you. The ring discussed in that paper is HYPOTHETICAL...meaning, it doesn't really exist, or that we don't actually know one exists.

Ergo, two moons and zero rings.

Answer 7

2 moons
phobos and deimos
no rings (easy to solve)

Answer 8

2 Moons

Phobos and Diemos as my memory serves.

I think the ring count is zero.
