Habitable exoplanets and systems
What is a habitable planet?A habitable planet is a planet that has to have water and the right temperature. The right temperature is crucial for water to exist. This is called the Goldilocks Zone. The picture on the right is a chart on the habitable zone. Many planets and exoplanets are often too cold or too hot, but just because they are not habitable doesn't always mean its not interesting. Usually for a planet to have the right temperature, it has to be in the around the same spot on where Earth is on our system, and the planet cannot become too big or it will become a gas giant. What is a exoplanet? A exoplanet is planet orbiting a star not including ours.
