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

Our neighbor Mars would hold a significant influence over Earth's climate. New research indicates that its gravity durably ...

Mars is half the size of Earth and has only a tenth of its mass, but a new study shows that even such a "lightweight" planet ...

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

“The closer it is to the sun, the more a planet becomes dominated by the sun’s gravity,” Kane said. “Because Mars is farther ...

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

How does Mars influence Earth’s climate cycles? This is what a recent study published in the Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific | Space ...

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 ...

Thin, seasonal ice may have protected ancient lakes on Mars, allowing liquid water to last for decades despite cold ...
