Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second-smallest planet in the Solar System, after Mercury. Named after the Roman god of war, it is often referred to as the Red Planet because the iron oxide prevalent on its surface gives it a reddish appearance.
The angular radii of the rising and overhead Phobos are 4â and 6â respectively. Therefore, from the angular diameters of the two moons, it is clear that Mars does not have solar eclipses since the angular diameter of the Sun in Mars is approximately 21â, which is larger than the ones for the two moons.
