The point at which a planet's atmosphere would experience runaway greenhouse - gas effects like those seen on Venus — a point located just inside Earth's orbit in our solar system — forms the outer boundary.

«Given the concerns about our own environment and climate change, finding an exoplanet that might experience the runaway greenhouse much sooner than we will made us reflect on the Earth's near - and long - term prospects for habitability,» Jenkins says.

Earth and Venus share many similarities — such as their size, composition and proximity to the sun — and yet Venus» atmosphere has experienced a runaway greenhouse effect that generates surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead.
