Habitable Exoplanets Quotes

“Oxygen wasn’t always part of Earth’s atmosphere. It took a couple of billion years for the gas to accumulate, continually generated mainly as a byproduct of single cellular life. After enough oxygen saturated the oceans and then started building up in the atmosphere, it was only at this point that the ozone layer formed through the above process.”
― Mathew Anderson, Habitable Exoplanets: Red Dwarf Systems Like TRAPPIST-1

“minimum mass of a planet to sustain features like an intrinsic magnetic field and a habitable atmosphere in a star’s habitable zone is about 1/3 the mass of the Earth [5]. Mars has 1/10th the mass of the Earth, and thus is the leading reason why the planet is in such a desiccated state today.”

“The latest research clearly suggests that a magnetic field of some kind is a requirement for planets to be habitable [2].”

“M-Type: A cool star that lasts 46-700 billion or more years and numbers 70% of all stars in the Universe. They glow a deep red from a high output of infrared radiation.”

“Without an atmosphere, all exposed liquid water would quickly evaporate into space.”
