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.

New research reveals the extent to which Mars is quietly tugging on Earth’s orbit and shaping the cycles that drive long-term ...

Planetary scientists recently simulated an alternate version of our solar system: one with a super-Earth causing climate chaos on Earth, Mars and Venus. If our solar system had a super-Earth, it's ...

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

Earth's climate has swung between ice ages and warmer periods for millions of years, driven by subtle changes in our planet's orbit and axial tilt. These variations, known as Milankovitch cycles, ...

Scientists have used the geological record of the deep sea to discover a connection between the orbits of Earth and Mars, past global warming patterns and the speeding up of deep ocean circulation.

A super-Earth planet that dips in and out of its star's habitable zone has been discovered just 19.7 light-years away. The planet, known as HD 20794d, gets farther out from its star than Mars is from ...

Mars's influence on Earth may be greater than we thought. In fact, the Red Planet, located over 140 million miles away from Earth, could actually be driving giant whirlpools in the deepest parts of ...

There's something big missing from our solar system — and that may be a good thing. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Planetary ...

Scientists from the Universities of Sydney and Sorbonne University have used the geological record of the deep sea to discover a connection between the orbits of Earth and Mars, past global warming ...
