The number of squares preceding each problem indicates its approximate level of difficulty.

Mars has two small, irregular moons, Phobos and Deimos, which orbit at distances of 9400 km and 23,500 km, respectively, from the planet. Their longest diameters are 28 km (Phobos) and 16 km (Deimos). Calculate their maximum angular diameters, as seen by an observer on the Martian surface directly under their orbits. Would the observer ever see a total solar eclipse?
