Gravitational forces never go to zero even at large distances; basically "everything affects everything" (at least within observable universe, but let's not go down [that rabbit hole](https://astronomy.stackexchange.com/q/44989/7982) quite yet\) so the answer to "would there be any effect" is always "Yes!" when it comes to this kind of question.

If 16 million kilometers were added to Earth's semi-major axis, what measurable effect would there be on Mars' orbit?
