The Habitable Zone, often referred to as the 'Goldilocks Zone', is the region around a star where conditions are just right for liquid water to exist on a planet's surface. This zone is crucial for the potential development of life, as water is a key ingredient for biological processes.
Planets located within this zone can maintain temperatures that allow for the presence of water, which is essential for life as we know it. Scientists search for exoplanets within the Habitable Zone of their stars to identify potential candidates for hosting life beyond Earth.
