A systems-level framework for planetary habitability: How Earth’s size, spin, tilt, and orbit explain why life exists here (and guide the search for life beyond)


This project examines how Earth’s size, spin, and axial tilt interact to create a stable climate system capable of sustaining life. These parameters shape circulation, seasons, and long-term habitability, offering a framework to compare Earth with exoplanets in the search for life beyond our world.
