New simulations show red planet affects Milankovitch cycles that shape how solar energy is distributed on Earth over millions ...

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

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

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

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 ...

Mars has long been the "apple of the eye" for many astronomers, mostly due to its similarity to Earth. However, one study examines how the red planet affects the Earth. A study published in ArXiv ...

Research suggests that Mars may strongly influence these cycles. For example, Mars helps drive a 2.4‑million‑year cycle ...

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.
