NEET BIOLOGY

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: -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-3: -The ‘Goldilocks Zone, ’ or habitable zone, is the range of distance with the right temperatures for water to remain liquid. Discoveries in the Goldilocks Zone, like Earth-size planet Kepler-186f, are what scientists hope will lead us to water––and one day life.

Detailed explanation-4: -Earth is the only planet in our solar system’s habitable zone. Mercury and Venus are not in the habitable zone because they are too close to the Sun to harbor liquid water.

Detailed explanation-5: -Bottom line: New research shows that Goldilocks stars – K dwarfs, or orange dwarfs – are the most likely to have planets that can support life.
