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

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

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 extent to which Mars is quietly tugging on Earth's orbit and shaping the ...

When humans pump groundwater, it has a substantial impact on the tilt of Earth’s rotation. Additionally, a study documents just how much of an influence groundwater pumping has on climate change.

Previous research on deep-sea sediments had suggested that Mars might influence Earth's climate, but the magnitude of this ...

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.

The earth (and humanity) would be very different without our smaller red neighbor. In A Nutshell Computer simulations show ...

Research suggests that Mars may strongly influence these cycles. For example, Mars helps drive a 2.4‑million‑year cycle linked to Earth’s gradual shift in its closest point ...
