"Without Mars, Earth's orbit would be missing major climate cycles. What would humans and other animals even look like if ...

At half the size of Earth and one-tenth its mass, Mars is a featherweight as far as planets go. Yet new research reveals the ...

Researchers find that shifts in Earth’s orbit can trigger abrupt climate changes, even in warm periods without ice sheets.

Researchers uncover how Mars affects Earth’s orbit, offering new insight into the planetary forces behind ice ages.

New simulations show Mars plays a key role in shaping Earth’s long-term climate by influencing its orbit and axial tilt over hundreds of thousands to millions of years.

Researchers discovered Mars subtly affects Earth’s orbit and axial tilt. These small changes help trigger ice ages and ...

Earth’s slow axial wobbles—known as precession cycles—do not just shape long-term climate trends. A new study led by ...

On its own, Earth would shift toward another ice age in about 10,000 years, scientists say. But humanity’s greenhouse gas emissions may have radically shifted the climates trajectory. (Santa Barbara, ...
