Eccentricity of the Earth's orbit around the Sun. The fluctuation between a nearly circular and elliptical orbit drives cyclic changes in the Earth's environment, including the global carbon cycle.

Earth’s orbit around the Sun is not circular, but an ellipse that is slightly elongated with an eccentricity of 0.017. (An eccentricity of 0 is a circle, while the dwarf planet Pluto has a ...

Research shows Mars' gravitational pull affects Earth's deep-sea currents and climate, causing cycles every 2.4 million years ...

Changes in Earth's orbit have helped pace climatic change for millennia. Scientists are now trying to understand whether - and how - these changes remodeled the landscapes our ancient ancestors ...

Pluto, for example, has a highly elongated orbit compared to the planets in our solar system and has an orbital eccentricity of 0.25. Earth has an orbital eccentricity of just 0.02. This new ...
