Mars can experience solar eclipses twice every Martian day
Mars' moon Phobos orbits the planet every 7 hours 40 minutes, rising and setting twice during one Martian day (24 hours 37 minutes). Due to this, Phobos can create two eclipses per day, everytime it orbits over Mars' equator. Earth, however, experiences around 2-5 solar eclipses annually as Moon, being 3,84,800 km from Earth, has an orbit tilted by 5Âº.
