Scientists suspect that the amount of liquid water on the surface of a planet may depend on the distance to its star.
So far, scientists have assumed that the Earth has got its own water as a result of the impact of a comet or asteroid. According to the new model, young planets in the habitable zone of a star would not be required to obtain water in this way. Johansen and his colleagues believe that their result may also be related to the formation of Venus, Mars and the destroyed planet Thia. The fate of our neighboring planets suggests that once sufficient water is not sufficient for the development of favorable conditions of life. It is still unclear why most of them are lost.
