Mars might be millions of miles away, but it’s secretly affecting Earth’s deep oceans! Scientists have discovered that the gravitational pull of Mars has a tiny but real impact on our planet’s tides.

Over long periods, this force could be influencing deep-sea currents and even climate patterns.

While the Moon and Sun have the biggest effect on our tides, Mars adds a little extra push that scientists are just starting to understand.

This could change what we know about Earth’s ocean cycles and weather. Crazy to think that a planet so far away is still making waves – literally!
