| Jan 24, 2022 at 1:05 | comment | added | Goodies | +1 nice illustration.. @Olandir the source of the picture provided in this answer is quite clear about it, "This illustration provides a comparison for how big the moons of Mars appear to be, as seen from the surface of Mars". What you see above is what you get.. from Mars (that is without atmosphere) | |
| Jan 24, 2022 at 0:41 | comment | added | Olandir | @Willk will do. I did that because I thought it was best to checkmark as quickly as possible so as not to waste others time, but I'll defer to your suggestion. I'm not familiar with protocol.. | |

Assuming their orbit isn't ridiculously far away they should be able to be seen just fine at night - and on a cloudless day if your story needs that. @Olandir | |
| Jan 24, 2022 at 0:38 | comment | added | Willk | Yes; a Martian would be able to see the Mars moons with the naked eye. Re green check - I am flattered but maybe hold off a day or 2. This is an interesting question and you might get a better answer once more people read this. | |

| Jan 24, 2022 at 0:25 | comment | added | Olandir | Thanks so much for the answer. Just a follow-up, I'm assuming those small moons (if they are close to the planet) would still be visible in the sky to those inhabiting it? | |
