Mars, long admired for its rusty hue and alien deserts, may play a far greater role in shaping life on Earth than once ...

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

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

New research reveals the extent to which Mars is quietly tugging on Earth’s orbit and shaping the cycles that drive long-term ...

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

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

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

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.

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

Thin, seasonal ice may have protected ancient lakes on Mars, allowing liquid water to last for decades despite cold ...

New climate modeling suggests that small lakes on ancient Mars could have stayed liquid for decades, even in a generally cold environment. Small lakes on early Mars may have stayed in liquid form for ...

While Mars doesn't directly control Earth's climate, its gravity subtly influences our planet's orbit and tilt over vast timescales. These predictable ...
