It’s nearly 600 miles in diameter, so, not at this time. :’) And adding its mass to Mars wouldn’t amount to much. Mars has about 1/8th the mass of Earth, and Ceres’ is .00015 the mass of Earth. Ceres is one third of the mass of the entire asteroid belt, so adding all those to Mars as well wouldn’t amount to much (.00045).
That’s disappointing. Well if Terra-forming Mars was easy, everyone would be doing it.

I’ve read that the average distance between the asteroids is about a million miles.
Not exactly the rock strewn field of rubble often artistically portrayed.
It would make a pretty big splash if it hit earth. It would be a good first step for Mars. Although smashing one of the Martian moons into that planet might do more good. So maybe that should be the second step.
...not so hugh, but it’s Ceres anyway...
