Abstract EANA2024-126

  The habitable zone can be defined as the region around a star where liquid water is stable on the surface of a planet. The habitable zone is specific and limited. This zone is also known as the Goldilocks Zone. There are internal and external boundaries of the habitable zone. The temperature, greenhouse effect, and liquid water storage potential are effective in determining these boundaries. Life needs much more than liquid water. A planet may have liquid water, but it may lack some vital elements, such as a biologically sufficient amount of nitrogen. Therefore, it cannot be said that all the planets in the habitable zone, even planets with liquid water, are habitable. In my poster, I will demonstrate the properties of the Goldilocks Zone and what determines the boundaries. Additionally, planets in this zone and their properties will be demonstrated.
