Before 4.5 billion years ago, Earth had a rocky beginning. We had just collided with an early planet the size of Mars, a cataclysmic event that melted both planets and created our moon from a large lump of lava. This effect set the stage for the Hadean Eon, which got […]

The earth’s (nearly) perpetual solar orbit Since the dawn of time, people have wondered why the earth revolves around the sun. The solution lies in the strong gravitational pull that holds the Sun and planets in our Solar System together. The gravity of the Sun is what keeps the Earth […]

Adapting to climate change can be quite difficult, whether it’s the threat of more severe storms or changes in weather patterns that have adverse effects on food supply. However, there are some easy ways to be good at adapting to climate change and preventing the worst of its effects from […]

Radiative forcing is the difference between the energy that Earth receives from the Sun and the energy it sends back into space. This value changes depending on what type of gases exist in Earth’s atmosphere and how much of each gas there are; changes in radiative forcing can cause Earth’s […]

New study reveals which areas are most at risk from sea level rise. Over the past century, humans have dumped around 136 trillion pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. That excess CO2 has been trapping heat, leading to global warming and a rise in sea levels worldwide—a phenomenon that’s […]

Climate change has become one of the most heated political debates around the world, as scientists warn us about the potentially disastrous impacts of global warming and politicians discuss how to prepare for these changes. Unfortunately, because this is such a hotly debated topic, it’s difficult to find any common […]
