It sounds like something out of a bad science fiction movie—artificially blocking sunlight to keep global warming from overheating the Earth

Surprisingly we do not have much information about the center of the planet that we live on. What lies beneath our feet is not well known.

Where did the ice sheets that rang in the last ice age more than 100,000 years ago come from, and how could they grow so quickly?

Researchers confirmed that the eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano produced the highest-ever recorded plume.

Earth is currently in the midst of a mass extinction, losing thousands of species each year, new UC Riverside research suggests.

Scientists made a key breakthrough in the quest to accurately predict fluctuations in the rotation of the Earth and so the length of the day

Findings suggest a variety of microbial life may have existed on primordial Earth, potentially 300 million years after the planet formed.

Earth is as friendly to life as any planet could possibly be — or is it? If Jupiter’s orbit changes, Earth could become more hospitable.

The stone named Hypatia from the Egyptian desert could be the first tangible evidence found on Earth of a supernova type Ia explosion.

Water is essential for life on Earth and other planets, and scientists have found ample evidence of water in Mars’ early history.

As a planet grows, it accumulates material from its surroundings, so its composition reflects the environment in which it formed.

Earth is believed to have formed partly from carbonaceous meteorites, which are thought to come from outer main-belt asteroids.
