The findings add to the number of exoplanets that are able to host life, as well as possibly extending the planet’s "habitable zone," the distance a planet is from its star where water could exist on the surface. As of June 2020, more than 4,000 exoplanets have been identified, includ...
The Earth is teeming with life, which, occupies a diverse array of environments; other bodies in our Solar System offer fewer, if any, niches which are habitable by life as we know it. Nonetheless, astronomical studies suggest that a large number of habitable planets-are likely to be ...
A necessary condition for habitability is that a planet’s orbit lie within the Habitable Zone, the annulus around a star where H2O would be in its liquid state (Des Marais et al., 2001). The inner and outer radii of the HZ are 0.7√Lbol and 1.5√Lbol AU. The requirements document ...
We clearly find that there is a critical rotation rate below which the multi-stability properties are lost, and the ice-albedo feedback responsible for the presence of SB and W conditions is damped. The bifurcation graph of the system suggests the presence of a phase transition in the ...
These factors are important for determining the habitability of a planet. If a planet has the right size, composition, and temperature, it can be habitable. For example, Earth is the right size, has the right composition, and has the right temperature to support life. On the other hand, ...
We conclude that a significant fraction of extrasolar Earth-like planets may still be habitable, even if they are subject to large obliquity fluctuations. 展开 关键词:ATMOSPHERES CLIMATE EXOBIOLOGY OBLIQUITY ZONES: HABITABLE DOI: 10.1006/icar.1997.5759 被引量: 150 ...
away on a long-term survey, and will hopefully discover roughly 50 Earth-like planets or super-Earths, planets that are up to about 10 times the mass of Earth, in habitable zones around nearby Sun-like stars, especially planets that have similarities in size, orbit and habitability to Earth...
Earth may be the only planet in the universe that we know to support life. However, astronomers have identified several alien exoplanets that could have even better environments, making them super-habitable. A little over twenty years a...

For centuries, scientists and natural philosophers have indicated that stars in the night sky have planetary systems similar to our own solar system.(今天,科学家们相信行星的数量会超过恒星。几个世纪以来,科学家和自然哲学家已经指出,夜空中的恒星有类似于我们太阳系的行星系统)”以及后文“However, we ...
