New simulations show red planet affects Milankovitch cycles that shape how solar energy is distributed on Earth over millions ...

"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 ...

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

This doesn’t mean Mars causes ice ages on its own. Orbital cycles are only part of the picture. Earth’s oceans, atmosphere, ...

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

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.

Scientists who work on long-term climate patterns usually stay close to Earth. The data is here, the records are clearer, and ...

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

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 ...

Floods and droughts across the globe are moving in sync, and a powerful Pacific climate cycle is pulling the strings.
