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 ...

Climate can change fast, even when the planet looks stable. Earth has flipped into new patterns within decades in the past.

Researchers find that shifts in Earth’s orbit can trigger abrupt climate changes, even in warm periods without ice sheets.

Scientists are beginning to read Earth in a different way, not from orbit, but from the surface of the moon. A recent study, ...

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

Earth's radiation budget is a core process of the Earth-atmosphere system, closely linked to global climate and environmental ...

BEIJING -- A new study has revealed that observing Earth from the moon serves as a powerful way of seeing the planet's true, global radiation signature, cutting through the "noise" of local weather to ...

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.

Pine rings record a sharp rise in rainfall intensity and volatility, showing modern extremes exceed patterns seen over the past 500 years.

Earth's climate has swung between ice ages and warmer periods for millions of years, driven by subtle changes in our planet's orbit and axial tilt. These variations, known as Milankovitch cycles, ...
