Planetary scientists recently simulated an alternate version of our solar system: one with a super-Earth causing climate chaos on Earth, Mars and Venus. If our solar system had a super-Earth, it's ...

Earth’s ice ages have long been blamed on subtle wobbles in our own orbit, but new research suggests a distant accomplice is ...

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 ...

The earth (and humanity) would be very different without our smaller red neighbor. In A Nutshell Computer simulations show ...

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, ...

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.

The climate on such a world must be beyond bizarre. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. A super-Earth planet that dips in and out of ...
