Content: It should be noted that Mars was known to have a liquid core at one time, but its heat dissipated quickly because Mars is a smaller planet. Holding an Atmosphere
Earth’s atmosphere not only fulfills our most basic needs of providing oxygen but also keeps the planet warm by trapping carbon dioxide and other gases. It also protects life on the planet by blocking the vast majority of harmful radiation. Therefore, any habitable planet must have all the necessary conditions in place to have an atmosphere or at least a protective layer of essential gases. As stated earlier, since we do not know of the existence of any life outside of Earth, these assumptions are deduced from the particular conditions that support life on Earth. If, however, there are organisms who can survive in altogether different conditions than what we have experienced here on Earth, then who really knows…maybe we already have company!

Our satellites have been picking up on earth-like habitable planets for some time now. We have found many planets which seem to fit the bill partially, but them being far away has stopped us from getting any proper evidence. We shall look at a list consisting of such planets.
