What planet (other than Earth) is in the sun's habitable zone?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking which planet, besides Earth, is situated in the habitable zone of the sun. The habitable zone is a region around a star where conditions may be suitable for liquid water and potentially life.

More Information

The habitable zone of the Sun is the region where conditions might be just right for liquid water to exist. In our solar system, this zone stretches beyond Venus and includes Mars.

Tips

A common mistake is assuming Venus is in the habitable zone, but its proximity to the Sun generally excludes it.
