How can you find out if a planet is habitable?

Scientists look for certain conditions when determining if a planet is habitable. This includes the presence of liquid water, a suitable atmosphere, a stable climate, and the right distance from its star to maintain a temperature hospitable to life. Observations from telescopes, spacecraft, and simulations help in assessing a planet's potential habitability.

What is the atmosphere of the goldilocks planet like?

It can vary substantially. Whether a planet is a Goldilocks planet is based only on its distance from the star it orbits. If a planet orbits at the right distance that it might be the right temperature to support liquid water, it is called a Goldilocks planet. The nature of the atmosphere would still be affected by factors such as the planet's composition, mass, and evolutionary history.


What will you do to make another planet habitable?

What property of a planet determines if the planet can have an atmosphere?

The mass of the planet. It's not clear cut, since there has to be gas around in the area to provide the atmosphere, but the planet (or moon) need to be massive enough to provide sufficient gravity for the gas molecules not to escape into space.


Is earth the only known planet with an atmosphere?

No. Many planets have atmospheres, but most are made of noxious gases, have to great an amount of pressure, or are to cold or hot to be habitable for humans.
