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

Have you ever wondered why Earth goes through massive climate swings, from freezing ice ages to warmer periods like today?

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

A pattern of encroaching and retreating ice sheets during and between ice ages has been shown to match certain orbital parameters of Earth around the sun, leading to researchers being able to predict ...

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 ...
