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

Floods and droughts across the globe are moving in sync, and a powerful Pacific climate cycle is pulling the strings.

A pull in the right direction ...

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

Milankovitch cycles describe slow, predictable changes in Earth’s orbit and tilt that influence long-term climate patterns.

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

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

Solar Maximum 2025 is the expected peak of solar activity in Solar Cycle 25, characterized by heightened sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections. This peak is anticipated around mid to late ...

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 ...

Stephen Kane, a professor of planetary astrophysics at UC Riverside, was skeptical when he read recent studies that showed the gravitational pull from Mars being connected to Earth’s long-term climate ...

Our planet has experienced dramatic climate shifts throughout its history, oscillating between freezing "icehouse" periods ...
