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

The Earth’s axis is at right angles to the line from sun to Earth, the sun is directly over the equator and the lengths of ...

New research suggests that Earth’s orbital variations—the slow changes in its tilt, axial precession, and shape of its ...

Glacial cycles aren’t random; they follow a predictable rhythm dictated by Earth’s orbit. A study analyzing climate records ...

The subtle changes in orbit (eccentricity), the planet’s inclination compared to the orbit (obliquity), and the change in the direction of Earth’s rotational axis (precession) were possible ...

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

and a 20,000-year cycle in the "wobble" — much like a top wobbles — of the Earth's axis (precession). All three of orbital cycles — called Milankovitch cycles — impact African climate on ...

Notably, a 1976 study found geological evidence showing that two of Earth's parameters — obliquity and precession, or changes in Earth's axial tilt and how the axis wobbles around itself ...

A pattern of encroaching and retreating ice sheets during and between ice ages has been shown to match certain orbital parameters of Earth around the sun, leading to researchers being able to ...
