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 ...

Climate can change fast, even when the planet looks stable. Earth has flipped into new patterns within decades in the past.

Study finds Mars helps pace Earth's ice ages through gravity. Remove Mars, and a major 2.4-million-year climate rhythm ...

Previous research on deep-sea sediments had suggested that Mars might influence Earth's climate, but the magnitude of this ...

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

"Without Mars, Earth's orbit would be missing major climate cycles. What would humans and other animals even look like if Mars weren't there?" ...

Researchers discovered Mars subtly affects Earth’s orbit and axial tilt. These small changes help trigger ice ages and ...

Researchers find that shifts in Earth’s orbit can trigger abrupt climate changes, even in warm periods without ice sheets.

Scientists have long debated what causes glacial/interglacial cycles, which have occurred most recently at intervals of about 100,000 years. A new study reported in the March 24 issue of Nature finds ...

The Earth is known for its constant evolution, but it was recently discovered by researchers that there is a trigger that leads to the planet's biodiversity seeing a massive boost, and it is through a ...

Researches used rhenium as a proxy for fossil carbon in order to quantify the rate at which Earth naturally releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and found that high rates of carbon breakdown ...

Today, science can narrow down potential oil reserves with surprising accuracy — especially when it comes to shale oil, found ...
