Develop a greater understanding of habitable zone characteristics associated with different planetary systems.

Habitable Zones— answer at least 10 questions out of 15 questions

Overall intention: Develop a greater understanding of habitable zone characteristics associated with different planetary systems. Further, this will help improve an understanding of the potential existance of life elsewhere (one of the last topics of this course). After completing this exercise, you should be able to describe the necessary ingredients for life to flourish on another Earth-like planet elsewhere in the universe.
