The Earth's climate has been changing for millions of years under the influence of the gravity of neighboring planets. A new study has shown that even the small planet Mars has a significant impact on ...

On its own, Earth would shift toward another ice age in about 10,000 years, scientists say. But humanity's greenhouse gas emissions may have radically shifted the climate's trajectory. Credit: Matt ...

Earth’s climate is not only shaped by smokestacks, forests, and oceans. It is also quietly tuned by the slow choreography of the planets, with Mars acting as a distant partner that nudges our world’s ...

Coral reefs have long been celebrated as biodiversity hotspots—but new research shows they have also played a much deeper role: conducting the rhythm of Earth's carbon and climate cycles for more than ...

While Mars doesn't directly control Earth's climate, its gravity subtly influences our planet's orbit and tilt over vast ...

Our species likes it cold. Homo sapiens evolved in — and still inhabits — one of Earth’s rare and fragile ice ages, periods distinguished not by an abundance of saber-toothed cats and woolly mammoths ...

Earth's seasons look very different at locations not far from each other, 20 years' worth of satellite data reveals. Earth's seasonal cycles can vary dramatically across short distances, even at the ...

Solar Maximum 2025 is the expected peak of solar activity in Solar Cycle 25, characterized by heightened sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections. This peak is anticipated around mid to late ...
