Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The habitable zone refers to the range of distances from a star within which a planet can maintain liquid water on its surface, which is crucial for life as we know it. A low-luminosity star has a smaller, narrower habitable zone because it emits less energy, so a planet needs to be closer to it to be warm enough for liquid water. Conversely, a high-luminosity star emits more energy, resulting in a larger, wider habitable zone where planets can be farther away and still support liquid water.
