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 ...

Climate can change fast, even when the planet looks stable. Earth has flipped into new patterns within decades in the past.

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 ...

A new study by UC Davis and Chinese researchers shows how extraterrestrial forces move Earth's climate into a glacial phase both over the last 34 million years and 300 million years. Recent rapid ...

Earth's climate has swung between ice ages and warmer periods for millions of years, driven by subtle changes in our planet's orbit and axial tilt. These variations, known as Milankovitch cycles, ...

Ancient horsetail plants produce water with unusual oxygen isotopes, offering scientists a new tool to reconstruct Earth’s climate history and understand humidity patterns from millions of years ago.

Learn how climate change is causing warmer winters, intense storms, and unpredictable weather patterns. Scientists warn of ...
