Habitable vs non-habitable zone planet. Computer illustration comparing a Super Venus type planet (left),which exists outside its star's habitable zone,with a Super Earth type planet (right),which exists within the habitable zone. The habitable zone is the region around a star where liquid water,an essential ingredient for life as we know it,could potentially be present. This image shows how a planet outside the habitable zone would most likely be a dry,toxic wasteland,whereas one within the zone might host oceans | |
