Universe Sandbox averages these two distances to simulate the habitable zone of a star. If no object is selected, the size of the habitable zone is estimated using the Kopparapu model Habitable Zone Calculator algorithm, which calculates a conservative and optimistic distance for the inner and outer edges of the habitable zone. This means that an object with a smaller albedo or a larger emissivity will have a larger habitable zone. The equation for calculating this distance is:ĭ = L ∗ 4 π σ T 4 1 − a 1 − ϵ, is the object's Infrared Emissivity. The calculation determines the distance required between the star and the object such that the object's Equilibrium Temperature equals either the freezing point or boiling point of water (on Earth under standard conditions). The habitable zone can also be toggled on and off using the H hotkey.Īs of Update 30, if an object in the simulation is selected, the size of each star's habitable zone will be calculated based on that object's properties. The habitable zone for a star can be displayed using the Habitable button in the View menu in the bottom bar, or by using the Habitable Zones setting in the full View Settings Menu.If an object is selected, the size of the habitable zone depends on the object's Average Albedo and Infrared Emissivity.The habitable zone is measured from the surface of the star rather than its center, so the Radius of the star can also affect the location of the edges of the habitable zone.

The size of a star's habitable zone depends on its Luminosity, which is located in the Overview tab of the star's properties panel.
