Now, let's journey to Earth, our very own home planet! Earth is a unique place, with liquid water on its surface and a diverse range of life forms. It's the only planet known to have life as we know it. Earth's atmosphere is just right for life to thrive...
Super-Earths that retain their primordial atmospheres can have long-lasting temperate surfaces. If a layer of water can form on such a planet, it could be liquid for billions of years.doi:10.1038/s41550-022-01700-4Nature Publishing Group UKNature astronomy...
Maintaining liquid water on the planet’s surface for long periods, as might be required for the evolution of life, can be impossible beyond the HZ, and even within it if there’s no atmosphere with a sufficient greenhouse effect such as in the case of Mars. Producing liquid water by subg...
For example, a planet with a lot of heavy elements, like iron, will release more energy than a planet with a lot of light elements, like hydrogen. Finally, the temperature of a planet is important because it affects the ability of liquid water to exist on the surface. If the temperature...

The composition of the volcanic gas supplied to Venus’s atmosphere indicates that the planet has a dry interior and is unlikely to have condensed liquid water on its surface, substantially constraining its potential habitability.

Their model involved a planet the same mass and diameter as the Earth with a similar atmosphere and amount of water on its surface. The red dwarf star was 30 percent the sun's mass and 1 percent as luminous, giving it a temperature of about 5,840 degrees Fahrenheit (3,225 degrees ...
Habitable planets refer to planets that have the potential to support life, specifically those that orbit at a distance from their host star that allows for the presence of liquid water on their surface. The presence of liquid water is considered crucial for the development and sustenance of life...
The habitable zone (HZ) describes the range of orbital distances around a star where the existence of liquid water on the surface of an Earth-like planet is in principle possible. While 3D climate studies can calculate the water vapor, ice albedo, and cloud feedback self-consistently and ther...
