Question

What if Titan collided with Mars?

Answer 1

Answer:

Titan is orbiting Saturn at a distance of 1.2 million km and Saturn orbits the Sun at a distance of 1.433 billion km. (9.582 AU)

Mars orbits the Sun at a distance of 288 million km (1.524 AU).

A minimum energy transfer orbit between 9.582 AU and 1.524 AU requires that the moon Titan be launched from its orbit with a hyperbolic excess velocity of 5.02 km/sec!

It arrives a Mars at 31.69 km/sec! The two fall together raising energies even higher. Like dropping a rock off a cliff, dropping Titan into the inner solar system behind Mars, basically vaporises both worlds.

Titan is 21% the mass of Mars. The collision releases 6.8875*10^31 Joules that’s mixed across all the mass in both bodies releasing 88.73 mega joules per kg of both bodies. Which exceeds the gravitational binding energy of both bodies.

➡ A minimum energy transfer orbit between 9.582 AU and 1.524 AU requires that the moon Titan be launched from its orbit with a hyperbolic excess velocity of 5.02 km/sec! It arrives a Mars at 31.69 km/sec! ... In roughly 50 million years, Phobos (Mars's moon) will collide with Mars.
