As we move towards the centre of the Sun,what happens to its physical properties?

Assume that a tunnel is dug along a chord of the earth,at a perpendicular distance $(R / 2)$ from the earth's centre,where '$R$' is the radius of the Earth. The wall of the tunnel is frictionless. If a particle is released in this tunnel,it will execute a simple harmonic motion with a time period:

$A$ rocket is fired vertically from the surface of Mars with a speed of $2 \; km/s$. If $20 \%$ of its initial kinetic energy is lost due to Martian atmospheric resistance,how far will the rocket go from the surface of Mars before returning to it? (Mass of Mars $= 6.4 \times 10^{23} \; kg$,radius of Mars $= 3395 \; km$,$G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \; N m^2 kg^{-2}$)
