By discovering carbonate rocks, NASA's Mars rovers may have unlocked the key to understanding the fate of the Red Planet's climate.

Earth isn’t standing as straight as it used to—something has actually made our planet tilt, and it’s not great news.

They have elliptical orbits and have axial tilts as well, so they, too, get analemmas, but they’re shaped differently. Mars, for example, is tilted by about 25 degrees, similar to Earth.

When most of us think about theweather on other planets, we imagine extreme conditions—boiling acid rain, methane snow, or ...

The 2025 summer solstice takes place on June 20, heralding the onset of astronomical summer and the longest day of the year.

Earth maintains a tilt of approximately 23.5° on its axis. As the planet orbits the Sun, this tilt causes different hemispheres to receive varying amounts of direct sunlight throughout the year.

This is due, firstly, to the fact that the axial tilt of the planets is variable, so there may be a much more (or less) significant seasonal difference than on Earth, due to a greater (or lesser ...

For most of the year, the Earth's axis is tilted either toward or away from the sun. That means the sun's warmth and light fall unequally on the northern and southern halves of the planet. The ...

Days will become ´shorter´ after the summer solstice … this means less daylight. If you like the ´longer days,´ then your excitement will diminish every day, little by little. To be exact, you will ...

Saturn’s moon Titan has always stood out among the celestial bodies in our solar system. It is the only moon with a thick, ...
