The four exoplanets orbit Barnard’s Star so closely that their years last only a few Earth days. They are probably rocky and, ...

"Such a transition to a glacial state in 10,000 years' time is very unlikely to happen, because human emissions of carbon ...

First of all the rotation axis changes relative to the Earth’s surface which is referred to as polar motion. The main component of polar motion is the so-called Chandler wobble. Although it was ...

Earth’s climate has never been static. It shifts between warm interglacial periods and deep freezes, driven by complex ...

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 ...

The research, published Thursday, February 27, in the journal Science, found a strong connection between Earth’s axial tilt ...

Scientists say small changes in the way the Earth orbits the sun hold the key in major global changes in climate, like ice ...

Paleoclimate and archaeological evidence tells us that, 11,000-5,000 years ago, the Earth's slow orbital 'wobble' transformed today's Sahara desert to a land covered with vegetation and lakes.

Earth's history is a roller-coaster of climate fluctuations, of relative warmth giving way to frozen periods of glaciation ...
