Abstract The planetary evolution of Mars is calculated in the framework of the parameterized convection approximation taking into account the condensation conditions in the preplanetary nebula. We find that Mars cools very efficiently so that its inner core has now grown near up to the core-mantle-boundary, which prevents the operation of a large-scale dynamo at present but explains the hot thermal past and operation of a dynamo up to about 1 billion years ago.
