   The habitable zone is the not-too-hot, not-too-cold region around a star where liquid water can exist on a planet’s surface. Liquid water is a key ingredient for life as we know it, so exoplanets in their stars’ habitable zones are compelling places to search for life.

   Jan 20, 2016 · Habitability is a widely used word in the geoscience, planetary science, and astrobiology literature, but what does it mean? In this review on habitability, we define it as the ability of an environment to support the activity of at least one known organism.

   Planetary rotation rate is a key parameter in determining atmospheric circulation and hence the spatial pattern of clouds. Since clouds can exert a dominant control on planetary radiation balance, rotation rate could be critical for determining mean planetary climate.

   What is a habitable planet?

   • Perhaps not what you think. To an astronomer, the word habitable simply means a planet whose physical conditions might allow life – any form of life, perhaps microbial life – to exist there. Here’s what NASA says about the word habitable: The standard definition for a habitable planet is one that can sustain life for a significant period.

   What is a 'habitable zone'?

   • A ‘habitable zone’ is the region around a star where planets can receive the perfect amount of heat to maintain liquid water on their surfaces. So our Earth, for example, is habitable. It’s the only planet in the habitable zone of our star, that is, the only one of our sun’s planets where liquid water can exist on the surface.

   What is a galactic habitable zone?

   • The galactic habitable zone (see here and here) is another - slightly less-well-defined - area where a habitable planet should lie. You can calculate the habitable zone around a star based off of what defines it: the luminosity of the star, primarily.

   Are there habitable worlds outside the habitable zone?

   • And some habitable worlds may even be outside the habitable zone. Saturn’s moon Titan, with its lakes and rivers of ethane and methane, is one of the solar system’s most attractive destinations for astrobiology (SN: 6/27/19).

   What makes a world 'inhabitable'?

   • If a world has a solvent of some sort and some type of geologic activity (which is a source of heat and molecular diversity), then it would be considered possibly "inhabitable" for the types of life we are familiar with.

   The standard definition for a habitable planet is one that can sustain life for a significant period; based on our solar system, life requires liquid water, energy, and nutrients.
