Small but mighty, the red planet — our celestial neighbor — has made Earth’s climate what it is today. Mars’ gravitational ...

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

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

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

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

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 | Space ...

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

Our neighbor Mars would hold a significant influence over Earth's climate. New research indicates that its gravity durably ...

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 ...

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.

New scientific simulations reveal that Mars significantly influences Earth's climate cycles, challenging previous assumptions about its minor role.
