Detailed explanation-1: -The habitable zone is the area around a star where it is not too hot and not too cold for liquid water to exist on the surface of surrounding planets.
Detailed explanation-2: -Named for the “not too hot, not too cold, but just right” statement, the Goldilocks Zone (or habitable zone) represents a zone around a star that has the right conditions to allow for liquid water (between 0oC and 100oC).
Detailed explanation-3: -So called because, like the third of the three bowls of porridge in the fairy tale Goldilocks, it is neither too hot nor too cold, but just right.
Detailed explanation-4: -Also called the habitable zone or life zone, the Goldilocks region is an area of space in which a planet is just the right distance from its home star so that its surface is neither too hot nor too cold.
Detailed explanation-5: -Habitable zones are also known as Goldilocks’ zones, where conditions might be just right – neither too hot nor too cold – for life.
