The moon Phobos orbits Mars in a nearly circular orbit that puts it closer to its host planet than any other known moon in the Solar System. Phobos oftens approaches within 5826 km of the typical Martian surface features. To give you an idea how close that is, our moon only gets about 354,990 km from Earth's surface. (If you're reading about orbits and distances elsewhere, remember that most sources list the distance from the center of the moon to the center of the planet.)
Io, the moon of Jupiter, is the closest to its home planet. Its close proximity to Jupiter causes intense tidal forces, resulting in a geologically active surface with volcanoes and lava flows.
The Mars moon that is closest to the planet is the Phobos Moon. The moon is also the largest moon for the planet Mars.
