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

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

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

A pull in the right direction ...

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 ...

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

Mars is half the size of Earth and has only a tenth of its mass, but a new study shows that even such a "lightweight" planet ...

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

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

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 ...

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 ...
