A fresh look at how celestial motion shapes our climate. The Cause of an Ice Age explains how movements of the planets and the sun bear directly on Earth’s climate, offering a clear, math‑based view of why ice ages happen.

This edition guides readers through the astronomical theory with accessible explanation, showing how heat distribution, seasons, and orbital factors combine to produce long glacial and interglacial cycles. It ties together geological evidence and astronomical reasoning, clarifying a topic that has puzzled scientists for generations.

• How the Sun’s heat and the tilt of the Earth influence summer and winter for each hemisphere


• Why orbital eccentricity and obliquity matter to long‑term climate patterns


• How geologic evidence aligns with astronomical explanations for ice ages


• Key concepts and figures that illuminate the theory without unnecessary jargon
