For example, the fact that Earth is a gravitationally-bound sphere of its current size costs of mass (roughly one fourth the mass of Phobos - see above for the same value in Joules), and if its atoms were sparse over an arbitrarily large volume the Earth would weigh its current mass plus kilograms (and its gravitational pull over a third body would be accordingly stronger).
