GENERAL GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The definition of “habitable zone” is the distance from a star at which liquid water could exist on orbiting planets’ surfaces. Habitable zones are also known as Goldilocks’ zones, where conditions might be just right – neither too hot nor too cold – for life.

Detailed explanation-2: -: capable of being lived in : suitable for habitation.

Detailed explanation-3: -For a planet/moon/asteroid to be considered habitable, it must orbit in a zone where liquid water is possible. The planet needs to be far enough away from the star that the surface water does not evaporate and close enough to the star that the surface water does not remain perpetually frozen.

Detailed explanation-4: -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. Because Earth is in the habitable zone of the Sun, this arrangement has informed our understanding of habitability.
