Martian dust devils may spark with electricity, potentially zapping rovers. New models show that charged dust could interfere ...

In the atmospheric layer above it, about 10 to 30 miles up, is the stratospheric polar vortex, where every winter a sunlight-starved Arctic spins up a mass of cold air that, ultimately, dissipates ...

If you looked at the churning clouds near Jupiter’s pole, they appear like ocean currents on Earth — as if you’re looking at ...

The Red Planet’s polar vortices, like Mars itself, are both familiar and peculiar. As on Earth, they’re seasonal, twirling to life every autumn and fizzling in spring.

Meteorologist Jaclyn Whittal breaks down the Polar Vortex and its impact on the pattern throughout April New U.S. registration requirements for Canadian travellers go into effect The Canadiens are ...

But the polar vortex surged southward again as I started outlining this piece. Despite the spring-like weather that followed, early-morning hiking and biking isn’t exactly balmy yet.

If the vortex weakens or breaks up, the air it contains can move to lower latitudes, resulting in a “polar vortex explosion” and, therefore, extreme weather conditions.

The polar vortex hit much of America, making temperatures in North Dakota colder than on Mars. Despite this, a 90-degree warmup is forecasted for next week. This unusual weather pattern is linked to ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The polar vortex hit its peak across much of America on Wednesday, with an icy grip that made Arctic Greenland seem like a toasty vacation spot in comparison. Even Mars has ...
