Research links Earth's axial tilt to past ice ages, showing human-driven warming may prevent future glaciations.

Thursday is the first day of spring, or the vernal equinox, in the Northern Hemisphere. During an equinox, the center of the ...

The spring equinox marks the start of astronomical spring. The date is determined by the Earth's tilt on its axis as it ...

Earth has experienced several climate cycles throughout its long history, including several ice ages that caused the planet to freeze over. The last ice ag | Earth And The Environment ...

A new study by researchers including those at the University of Tokyo revealed that atmospheric gravity waves play a crucial ...

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

Earth's history is a roller-coaster of climate fluctuations, of relative warmth giving way to frozen periods of glaciation before rising up again to the more temperate climes we experience today.

Saturn's iconic ring system will disappear, albeit temporarily, on March 23—a preview of its fate in 100 million years.

The research also highlights the importance of planetary comparisons in atmospheric science. Mars, with its rotation speed and axial tilt similar to Earth's, offers an ideal case study. However, its ...

A new study revealed that atmospheric gravity waves play a crucial role in driving latitudinal air currents on Mars, particularly at high altitudes. The findings, based on long-term atmospheric data, ...
