The habitable zone is the region around a star where conditions are just right for liquid water to exist on the surface of a planet. In our solar system, this zone extends from some place a little beyond the orbit of Venus to some place near the orbit of Mars. This means that Earth is situated within the Sun's habitable zone, while planets like Mercury and Mars are too close or too far away, respectively, to support life as we know it.
