Answer:

mass of Phobos is 8.8 × 10¹⁵ Kilograms greater than mass of Deimos.

Explanation:

The planet Mars has two moons Phobos and Deimos.

Mass of Phobos = 10.8 × 10¹⁵ Kilograms

Mass of Deimos = 2 × 10¹⁵ Kilograms

So the difference in the masses of the moons

= 10.8 × 10¹⁵ - 2 × 10¹⁵

= (10.8 - 2) × 10¹⁵

= 8.8 × 10¹⁵ Kilograms

Therefore, mass of Phobos is 8.8 × 10¹⁵ Kilograms greater than mass of Deimos.
