Encyclopedic overview
Understanding planetary habitability is partly an extrapolation of the conditions on Earth, as this is the only planet known to support life.
Planetary habitability is a measure used in astrobiology to characterize a planet's or a natural satellite's potential to develop and sustain an environment hospitable to life. The Planetary Habitability Laboratory maintains a catalog of potentially habitable exoplanets.
