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

New computer models suggested that the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) could get better radar data if it rolled farther ...

NASA’s Mars Orbiter is rolling 120° to help see beneath the surface - and it’s revealing clearer signs of ice, rock, and ...

Summer solstice arrives on Friday, June 20, at 10:42 p.m. EDT, marking the first day of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. But what exactly is the summer solstice?

More A European Mars probe captured a stunning view of a Martian crater that's rich in many of the features that help scientists reconstruct the planet's dynamic history over billions of years ...

Earth’s tilt is what causes the seasons; in the summer, when our planet’s pole is tipped toward the sun, the days are longer, and the true sun’s daily path across the sky is higher. The opposite is ...

Related: Mars has an axial tilt of around 25 degrees. Because this value is so close to Earth's tilt of 23.5 degrees, the amount of seasonal variation on Mars is similar to our planet's.

Because its axis of rotation is tilted at about 25 degrees, Mars has four seasons, just like Earth. However, a year on Mars is about 687 Earth days long, making each season longer than those on ...

How cold winters are on Mars depends on the tilt of its axis. The more tilted towards the sun the northern hemisphere of the Red Planet is, the warmer it gets and vice versa.

Earth wobbles just a bit as it spins on a slightly-tilted axis, and this gives us different seasons. But Mars' axial tilt wobbles a lot over the course of millions of years, drastically changing ...

Without those calculations, the model's tilt was off by 31 inches. In the 17 years that were analyzed, researchers found that the tilt drifted 1.7 inches each year.

From 1993 to 2010, the earth is believed to have tilted 31.5 inches east, according to the study, which was published by Geophysical Research Letters. This is because of how much groundwater was ...
