Not to disagree, but so few, 4%, of known exoplanets being terrestrial type is due to the fact that smaller, terrestrial planet is by far more difficult to detect than the other three types. Statistically, small planets should greatly outnumber the giants, just like it is with the stars. For the same reason, planets further away from their star are also more difficult to find; this explains why hot Jupiters are so overrepresented. Also, in a tidally locked planet with an atmosphere, heat would be transferred to the dark side by the motion of the gas; not all is lost. Otherwise, a fascinating presentation. Thank you!
@vsevolodtokarev "Not to disagree,..." Thank You. Here is THE Problem. Google Search: "Probability Estimate for Attaining the Necessary Characteristics for a Life Support Body" There are 322 (for lack of a better word) Things you NEED to have a planet that supports Life. That means the odds of finding one are 1 in 10 to the 282nd power..against. Assuming this is true, it appears Thee Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens.
Fascinating and well presented. *_BUT_* the part about the "greenhouse effect" is highly problematic. For 40+ years, I was a big fan of the GHH (greenhouse hypothesis). It seemed so simple in explaining things like the extra warmth above Earth's Effective ("blackbody") Temperature, and the scorching heat at the surface of Venus. *_But both of these are wrong!_* The potent *_LACK_* of evidence for CO2 driving temperature, effectively DEBUNKS the GHH. *_Consider This:_* Take Al Gore's BIG, 600,000-year graph in his heavily flawed, "Award-Winning" film, *_An Inconvenient Truth._* At the end of the graph (present time), he showed normal warming up to the current Holocene Interglacial of the current Pleistocene Ice Age (and, note, the Holocene is NOT the warmest interglacial of the Pleistocene). Then, his graph showed CO2 skyrocketing, *_BUT the temperature NOT skyrocketing along with it!!!_* Gore entirely glossed over this. The current warming is a natural result of entirely natural processes which has given us 10 major, 1000-year warm periods throughout the Holocene, and the Modern Warm period is not only *_ON TIME,_* with the 1000-year cycle, but also the *_COLDEST_* (last place) of all of the 10 major Holocene warm periods. This means that the bulk of the warmth was from nature, and ANY warmth we assign to extra CO2 is going to diminish the already weak, natural warming assigned to the current, Modern Warm Period. *_Correlation_* My paper on temperature and CO2 *_correlation_* shows how CO2 has *_never_* been shown to drive temperature. The only time scale which has a strong, positive correlation between the two elements, has *_temperature DRIVING CO2 into and out of the oceans as a dissolved gas._* *_Alternate Explanation_* The two key starting points for the GHH -- excess warmth on Earth and scorching surface temperatures of Venus -- have an alternative hypothesis for explaining them. I discuss this in detail in my paper, *_"Thick atmosphere as a thermal reservoir._* ALL matter can hold heat energy. An Olympic swimming pool at 15°C will hold a great deal more *_heat energy_* than a cup of water at the same temperature. The same goes for an atmosphere. Dense air holds far more heat than sparse air; and air is made far more dense at the surface because of gravity. Though, the energy (kilo-Joules, kJ) per unit mass (kilograms, kg) of air is greater at the surface than at the tropopause (~11 km altitude on Earth), the amount of energy per kg at both locations is surprisingly similar. Another paper currently being written, investigates the "Thermal Momentum" of each Solar System planet with a "thick atmosphere" (per Robinsin and Catling, 2013). In order to compare "apples-to-apples," I investigated the thermal energy held by comparable slices of atmosphere. Between the worlds of Venus, Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Titan, Uranus, and Neptune, Earth has the thinnest atmosphere. So, I take the top of each atmosphere for those other worlds -- from 0.1 bar pressure (tropopause) down to 1.01325 bar (sea level on Earth). When we achieve the figure for thermal energy per unit mass (kJ/kg) for each planet, and divide these figures by Effective Temperature (T_e) and specific heat (C_p), we have almost the same number for each world. The variance could be a result of other, unknown factors, or it could merely be from the fact that many of the other planets have measurements which are less accurate than those obtained on Earth.

There is a Creator. You are not him. The earth is his beautiful creation built for life and mankind. Jesus is the Messiah 😊 Repent and surrender your life to him. 😊
I loved how you kept finding more constraints on the habitable zone and layered them on.
As with biology, paleontology, physics, etc., the more learn the more incalculably impossible it appears to have happened by chance.
Amazing graphics and very informative. Good job folks.
nice presentation, shared.
One Infinite Creator’s mind is ???. No words can describe.

It’s time for us to adopt the phrase “divine selection" to replace the mythology of natural selection.
Darwin has entered the chat.
