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

Earth’s ice ages have long been blamed on subtle wobbles in our own orbit, but new research suggests a distant accomplice is ...

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

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

What can craters on Mars teach scientists about the Red Planet’s climate history? This is what a recent study published in Geology hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated ice buildup ...

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

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

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

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 ...

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

The findings potentially solve the paradox of how liquid water seems to have persisted on Mars even when the climate grew too ...

A recent study examining Martian craters identified that the planet experienced multiple ice ages between approximately 640 and 98 million years ago. This research revealed a consistent pattern ...
