Based on what you know about the location of the earth in relation to the sun, why is this called the Goldilocks zone in other galaxies? A. It's a region that exhibits a weak gravitational pull, thus maintaining a safe distance from the sun. B. It's an area that doesn't experience any major weather events that could cause mass extinctions. C. It's an area that's an optimal distance from the sun for potentially supporting life. D. It's a region that's unaffected by asteroid or meteor impacts.

    Answer: C. It's an area that's an optimal distance from the sun for potentially supporting life.

    The Goldilocks zone, also called Habitable Zone, refers to the region in the space where a planet is located at a distance from its star, which is ideal for living conditions.

    For this to be possible, the incident luminosity and the radiation flow on the surface of the planet must be sufficient to maintain the adequate temperature so that water can exist in liquid form (a fundamental requirement for life).

    In fact, it is stated that the Earth is in the habitable zone of the solar system and that is why it is capable of housing life.
