Goldilock's Requirements To Be A Habitable Zone

Earth is filed with plants, animals, water, clouds, and grass. This world was always filled with these 5 simple forms of life. The planet earth can be in the negatives with weather or it can be scorching hot, it can be sunny, or cloudy. Planet earth is also known to be the twin planet of venus for there size, closeness to the sun, and more. Though one of the main differences is the weather, climate, and a slight change in atmosphere. Planet earth is also the only home to human life. Earth is also the only planet that is not named after a god or goddess. The next planet that I'm doing is

This means it must orbit its parent star within the habitable zone - that is, the region where a planet’s temperature and atmospheric pressure is adequate to keep liquid water on the surface. This is hard to estimate, as we are assuming that all life needs water, whereas this may not be the case. If we use our own solar system as a guide, however, we can make an educated guess. We have 4 terrestrial planets, and 1 supports life. We think there may be a very small chance of life being present on Mars. We can therefore assign this value to be 2. Whether this is a reasonable figure when extrapolating to the entire galaxy is unknown at this

These planets evolved so differently, because of their space from the sun. Making Venus hotter than earth and causing changes to the

To compare, all three planets have secondary atmospheres that were produced by volcanoes. To contrast, Venus is too close to the Sun, and was too warm for liquid water to form and without liquid water; the CO2 could not settle out of the atmosphere and dissolve into the oceans. This caused Venus to suffer from runaway greenhouse effect and became hot with an extremely dense and vastly insulated atmosphere. Along with this, UV sunlight destroyed the H2O in the atmosphere. On the other hand, Earth had enough distance from the Sun for liquid water to form and precipitate out into the ocean while the CO2 in the atmosphere dissolved into the oceans and was removed from the atmosphere. The trace amounts of H2O and CO2 in the atmosphere create an insulating layer which is enough to keep the Earth at a mild temperature. Out of the three planets, Mars is the farthest from the Sun. It is possible that Mars had liquid water earlier in its history. The CO2 dissolved into water; however, Mars has less mass than Venus or the Earth. Because of Mars’ smaller mass, it has less tectonic activity and Volcanism stopped early in its formation. This did not allow the atmosphere to be renewed from CO2 or H2O

The air is not breathable by humans! Venus's atmosphere also contains traces of extra compounds and elements, such as neon, argon, carbon monoxide, and helium. Atmospheric pressure is over 90 times heavier than that of Earth; sheer crushing power. Clouds of sulfuric acid lay above a layer of carbon dioxide near the crust. These sulfuric clouds block most Muggle attempts to see Venus. On Venus, the climate changes all the time, from an extremely cold temperature to an extremely hot one. The temperature ranges from -364 to 870 degrees Fahrenheit. Venus is the hottest planet in the Solar System, and yet it is Mercury that is the closest planet to the Sun, Venus being second in

Humans have been searching for a habitable extraterrestrial planet before Galileo even assembled the first telescope. Since then, we have identified 1030 extraterrestrial planets, but only an esteemed handful of these copious supply of planets would even permit the hardiest of bacteria and single-celled organisms, let alone intelligent life. Kepler-452b is one of the most speculated planets yet discovered because it orbits within the Goldilocks Zone, or the perfect distance from its star so that surface temperatures of the planet remain stable for liquid water, and thus for life. Given that it is 60% larger than earth, takes 385 days to orbit its star, Kelper-452b exhibits almost every desirable characteristic of a habitable planet. However, it is a jaw-dropping 6 billion years old, or 1.5 billion older that our own sun.

have yet been detected on any of the nearly 2,000 scientifically confirmed exoplanets. So we

to be at just the right distance and has the same properties to support life as our planet.

Scientists examined the Venusian atmosphere and found out that above the clouds the temperature is about 13oC, in contrast, at the surface of Venus the temperature gets as high as 465oC. It is believed that the principle cause of the extreme surface temperature is the consequence abundant carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. Scientists concluded that Venusian atmosphere undergoes greenhouse effect. In essence, the heat delivered from the Sun enter the atmosphere and is radiated out, then again, it does not leave the atmosphere due to its heavy clouds that impede it from such. For this reason, Venus’ surface temperature is higher than that on Mercury – higher than any other planet! – leaving no chance of life.

Venus is the 2nd planet from the Sun. Venus' reflective nature and close proximity to Earth are major factors in it's being one of the brightest objects in the sky after the Sun and Earth's moon. It is often referred to as

In 3000 AD the earth was already overcrowded and was using the last of its dwindling resources, so humans decided it was finally time to expand. There were already self-sustaining colonies on Mars. With the knowledge of how to turn an uninhabited planet into a flourishing, self-sustaining home, the humans decided to travel to all planets in the ‘habitable zone’ that were within 50 light years or one brevis year. And so

An exoplanet is a planet that orbits a star that is out with our solar system. A large number of exoplanets have been discovered so far, however it is exoplanets that are within the star’s habitable zone that are the most sought after. An exoplanet is considered to be within the habitable zone if it is at an orbital distance from the star it orbits that allows it to be at a surface temperature that can support water in its liquid state. If the exoplanet is too close to the star any water will boil and evaporate, while if it is too far away the planet will be

manned missions to. It also is the planet that we have the best chance of finding life

It is called this because it closely resembles the Earth's mass, density and diameter. The only thing different is that Venus " is shrouded in thick clouds that completely hide the surface of the planet " (Grolier, 1992). The surface temperature is also much warmer than that of Earth.

The terrestrial planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. These four planets are the planets that are closest to the sun. Terrestrial means earthlike; therefore, these planets are all earthlike because they have a solid ground. The terrestrial planets are the middle school years. The knowledge learned here orbits the sun. If the knowledge learned at the sun is not retained, a student may have a
