Study Reveals How Earth's Orbit Triggers Ice Ages, And There's One in The Next 11,000 Years
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.

Next ice age would hit Earth in 11,000 years if it weren't for climate change, scientists say
"Depending on where you are on Earth, you'll find more influence from precession or obliquity," he said. —Earth’s days once got 2 hours longer — and that may have triggered one of the ...
Vernal equinox marks the emergence of spring
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 ...
