For an Earth-mass planet with a nitrogen-carbon-dioxide-water atmosphere, commonly quoted conservative Solar boundaries are approximatelyThe inner edge is governed by moist-greenhouse water loss and ultimately the runaway greenhouse. The outer edge is the maximum greenhouse outer habitable-zone limit, where additional carbon dioxide condenses or increases reflected light faster than it increases infrared trapping. Optimistic empirical boundaries, based on recent Venus and early Mars, are broader, roughly to . The values depend on clouds, planetary mass, atmospheric inventory, and climate assumptions.
