Question by Annaa:*: How much of the sun will be covered during an eclipse on mars?
for my science project. How much of the sun will be covered (by a moon) during an eclipse on mars?
Thanks everyone! (:


Best answer:
Answer by GnomonYou'll need to find out the diameter of Phobos, assume it is spherical, work out the area of the disc, how far it is from the surface when directly overhead, what its size is expressed as an angle, then do the same for the sun.
