Despite its small size, Mars seems to have a huge impact on the orbital cycles that govern Earth’s climate, especially those ...

Mars’s gravity shapes ice ages on Earth, new research finds - Red Planet’s gravity plays a significant role in climate cycles ...

"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.

A pull in the right direction ...

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 ...

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

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

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.

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