Abstract

We investigate the outcomes of a scenario that the planet Mars has suddenly changed its composition and become a giant spherical mars bar of the same volume as planet Mars. We find that both the mass and the gravitational field strength would decrease by 75%, and the escape velocity would reduce by 50%. It would also last as a food source for around 100 billion years.
