As it orbits its star, it moves close enough at one point to experience extreme heat, similar to Venus’s temperature. But at its farthest point, the planet is nearly twice the distance from Earth to ...

An international team of scientists has synchronized key climate records from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans to unravel the ...

Earth emerged from the last ice age around 11,700 years ago. A new analysis suggests the next one could be expected in 10,000 ...

Professor John Chiang of UC Berkeley explains the impact of Earth's axial tilt and orbital eccentricity on global climate. He highlights their influence on seasonal variations, including monsoon ...

How does a planet’s size influence its orbit around its parent star? This is what a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy | Space ...

This approach allowed the team to determine how the three orbital factors -- tilt, wobble, and the shape of Earth's orbit ...

The first metal 3D part ever created in orbit has landed on Earth. The sample was produced in ESA's Metal 3D Printer on the ...

This approach allowed the team to determine how the three orbital factors -- tilt, wobble, and the shape of Earth's orbit around the Sun -- interact to drive ice age cycles over the past 900,000 ...

The different seasons shape our lives and daily routines including the clothing choices we make, what activities we ...

The Earth's next ice age is expected to begin in about 11,000 years -- unless human-caused global warming disrupts natural cycles. That's according to a new study published Thursday in Science ...

The ebb and flow of Pleistocene glacial cycles is not random; it follows a predictable pattern dictated by the distinct and deterministic influence of Earth’s orbital geometry, according to a new ...
