Setting the Stage for Habitable Planets
... It is important to clearly define what we mean by the term “habitable planet”. Some will object that the word “planet” is too restrictive. In principle, a habitable environment might be located on a non-planetary body. Perhaps the term “habitable body” would be preferred, which could include such po ...
