Simulation results show that Mars, despite its similar size to Earth, has a considerable influence on the Milankovitch cycles.

Mars has always been a curious planet, often overshadowed by its larger neighbors, but recent research suggests that the Red Planet plays an unexpected role in shaping Earth’s climate. According to 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 ...

On its own, Earth would shift toward another ice age in about 10,000 years, scientists say. But humanity's greenhouse gas emissions may have radically shifted the climate's trajectory. Credit: Matt ...

Earth's seasons look very different at locations not far from each other, 20 years' worth of satellite data reveals. Earth's seasonal cycles can vary dramatically across short distances, even at the ...

The inner Earth is a mysterious place, and now scientists may have uncovered a strange new secret. According to a new study, the Earth’s inner core may have recently stopped rotating, relative to the ...

Earth is closer to the sun at some times of year than at others, with the time of closest approach shifting over a period of 22,000 years. This affects Earth's climate, including ice ages, but a team ...

It is not pleasant to imagine that human activity is making the planet uninhabitable, but we typically think of this in terms of greenhouse gases, rising sea levels or acidifying the oceans. We aren't ...

Changes in Earth's orbit have helped pace climatic change for millennia. Scientists are now trying to understand whether - and how - these changes remodeled the landscapes our ancient ancestors ...

Earth's core isn't exactly aligned with its mantle, which results in a cyclical wobble, new research finds. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how ...

It is with a heavy heart that I announce that NASA Earth Science Communications has directed The Earth Observer to conduct an ...

Earth may have had fresh, not just salty, water as soon as 600 million years after the planet formed — a mere blink of an eye in geologic time. Researchers analyzed oxygen molecules within ...
