Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos. Both are believed to be captured asteroids. Phobos is the larger of Mars’ two moons.
Detailed explanation-2: -A group of Hungarian scientists has confirmed a long-standing astronomical speculation: the Earth has three natural satellites or moons, not one.
Detailed explanation-3: -They suggest a massive inner moon eventually succumbed to the tidal pull of Mars and fell back to the Red Planet, as did the majority of other outer moons that formed within the reaches of tidal forces. This left behind Phobos and Deimos as the only survivors of the giant impact.
