Mars

Although Mars is about half the size of Earth, with a diameter of 6,780 kms it has almost the same amount of land area. The planet, which the Greeks named after their God of War, Mars, has two moons. The larger moon has been named Phobos ("fear") while the smaller is called Deimos ("terror"), named for attributes personified in Greek mythology as sons of the god.
