GEODYNAMO

August 25, 2021

Is it enough for a planet to be in a habitable zone for life to exist? Any planet standing there would have to receive strong radiation from its parent star. It will eventually melt the planet’s atmosphere. (But the thick clouds on Venus reflect solar radiation, which is why they shine). The movement of molten…
