from hot to habitable.
In an attempt to determine the water content

These signatures indicate that the
temperature of the upper layer
of the
planet's atmosphere increases with the distance
from the
planet's surface.
Because
planets either too close to or too far

temperatures that cause water either to boil or to freeze, astrobiologists define a «habitable zone,» a range
of orbital distances within which
planets can support liquid water on their surfaces.
