Calculate the semimajor of a moon on a synchronous orbit around Mars. Express your answer in martian radii (Rmars) from the center of the planet. compare this distance with the orbits of phobos (at 2.76 Rmars) and Deimos (at 6.9 Rmars). Describe the motion of each of these moons on the sky as seen from mars
