When trying to ascertain the habitability of an exoplanet, researchers often look to the atmosphere. One gauge is the Habitable Zone Atmosphere (HZA), which takes into account basic atmospheric ingredient required for life, such as carbon dioxide and oxygen, among other planetary traits.
But researchers from the University of East Anglia’s Centre for Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences have highlighted the influence an exoplanet’s ocean salinity has over the celestial body’s ability to host life. The research was published in Proceedings of the National Academy of…
