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

A pull in the right direction ...

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

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

Research suggests that Mars may strongly influence these cycles. For example, Mars helps drive a 2.4‑million‑year cycle linked to Earth’s gradual shift in its closest point ...

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.

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

How does Mars influence Earth’s climate cycles? This is what a recent study published in the Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific hopes to address as a trio of researchers from the ...

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

The Red Planet's low gravity and lack of magnetic field makes its outermost atmosphere an easy target to be swept away by the solar wind, but new evidence from ESA's Mars Express spacecraft shows that ...
