Mars is the most distant rock planet from the Sun. It is about half the size of Earth, but spins in a similar amount of time and has polar ice caps and seasons. Mars has two small moons, Phobos and Deimos. Phobos is about 27 km across, and Deimos a little more that half this size. These rocky bodies are probably asteroids captured into orbit around Mars.
